i will make him take off the head at least and inspect it. a head gasket is a cheap price to pay.

remember you're talking to the guy who just bought like 6 shitty motors. besides i dont know if ill even put it in, i might just rebuild it anyways and do forged guts.

pulling the head isnt going to tell you if the thing has a spun bearing and a rod knocking..

250 for a dohc zc is a sweet deal nowadays. I'd pick it up asap before its gone.

I would give him half now half later. Even if he doesn't know that the engine sucks, it still might. (see hotrex, ssl2k)

just get some info on the guy your buying it from and see where he lives and what hes doing with his life, that will give you some kind of indication as to whether or not hes trying to sell you a blown motor

give him 200, and it's jdm yO so who gives a ---- if it's stolen, trace that ---- all the way back to the red sun.

tell him 200 and you'll pick it up. And make sure he gives you the IM and dist. But either way 250 for a complete twin cam zc long block is a nice deal.
