This is indeed pretty awesome. However, as far as the "wear on cams" bit...  I'm approaching 170k on the original engine in my car and the cams look brand new compared to that. I would definitely have someone at least look at them, and probably budget for either regrinding or replacement.

That could have easily happened during shipping. for a new PCV valve (which you should be swapping anyway), swap the sensor (cam position sensor?) over from the dead motor, done. Struggling to see what's wrong in the first photo, but I've never touched an S2k..I'd probably swap the front and rear crank seals before it goes in, especially if it's been sitting awhile. Probably the oil pan gasket too. e: VVV I started thinking about that too, but he has a perfectly good one from his current engine to use if he needs to. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jun 17, 2013 |

You could always pull the pan, then pull the bearing caps to evaluate wear. If you want to be super paranoid, toss some oil in it, toss a starter on it, and check compression. Didn't know they'd gone to liquid gaskets - everything except the head gasket and valve cover was RTV from the factory on my last car (99 Nissan Altima), drove me loving nuts every time I had to do anything. Especially on the water pump (which was a PITA to get to anyway). Even the loving transmission was Permatex Gray on everything except axle seals and the seal on the shifter rod...  What makes the rear main so difficult? 2 piece seal? (again, coming from someone who's never touched an S2k, but worked on plenty of mid 80s-early 00s Hondas)

Not in the "gently caress YOU AND gently caress YOUR MOTHER AND gently caress gently caress gently caress poo poo gently caress THIS poo poo YOU gently caress" way (you know, the same mindset cats go into when they see a shelf full of expensive stuff and start knocking everything over), more in the weird twitch way.
