used 3SGTE engines

we have 2 second hand engines at present. 1 is from a ST185 GT4 and the other from a MR2. One came from a 1/2 cut that had 86,4000km on it and was completely stock. The other was in a rear cut so we have no idea of km's . We have not had either running but will take the sump off and check bearings and do a compression test before selling them. Both are probabaly too good to strip to rebuild, so if there is any interest, we may sell them as-is. contact us if interested.

    sorry, you have misunderstood. i dont have the cut, just the bare engine.
    Unfortunately, we can't get gen 3 1/2 cuts easily. they are super rare and becoming more expensive. expect $3000- $3500 if you find one

    $1650 for MR2 engine exchange, provided your old engine is reconditionable and does not have a cracked crank. we will check compression, oil pressure at crank and remove the sump to check for abnormal bearing wear. We will offer a 90 day warranty provided the install is factory stock & totally unmodified.

    the 94 MR2 has a gen 3 engine already. if you need help identifying what you have got, contact separately by phone or email. thanks

    yes, all 3S engines have this problem. most of the problem comes from slack owners who allow them to run low on oil. this causes a big end bearing to let go and thats what causes the crack to occur

    if the car has spun a big end how likely is that the metal has gone though and damaged the turbo bearing and the head can the metal be flushed out easily

    is the gen 2 block the same as the gen3 ?? if there is a diff how hard is it to put the gen3 head on the gen 2 block???

    an engine with a spun bearing needs complete strip down. the turbo is fed on the pressure side after the filter. it may be Ok, may be stuffed. the gen 3 head bolts to a gen 2 block, but there are numerous differences. if you tell me exactly what you are tyring to achieve by doing that, I can assist
