GS500 Engine for sale

[Marcmcm]

This thing has been sitting in my garage now for too long and it's time to go.  Came out of a 1990 GS500 and had a bent valve from a bad cam chain tensioner.  Cam chain tensioner has been replaced along with most of the valves.  I also replaced most gaskets, head gasket, base gasket, valve cover gasket.  It still needs an oil pain gasket (leaks a little bit).  It also needs a signal generator since I used the one from this engine in the other engine I put in the GS500.  I'll take $150+shipping.  I'll ship it in a Rubbermaid tub reinforced with styrofoam.  You can also pick it up if you like.  I'm in central PA.

I'm looking for a spare engine, how close is this to running if I put in a signal generator?

[Marcmcm]

Should be good to go. I set the valve timing and cleaned up the valves and the ports when I put it all back together.  Any valves that were bent were replaced, the others were cleaned up and re-lapped.  Turns over easily. Like I said, it needs a new oil pan gasket and the signal generator.  Other than that it should be good to go.  I wasn't able to run it after it was all put back together since i don't have a GS anymore but they're pretty simple engines.

Interested. How much is shipping to 35404?

[Marcmcm]

Depending on the exact weight should be in between $75 and $125.  75lbs is $75 and 150lbs is $125 on FedEx Ground.

and your absolutely certain the engine is in good mechanical order and runs? it basically sounds like you did a minor rebuild.

[Marcmcm]

No, I am not absolutely certain that it runs since I've never had it running.  I did do a minor rebuild.  I did not replace bearings or rings.  I don't have a GS500 to put it in to make it run and it also doesn't have a signal generator so it doesn't run without that either.  If it were a complete running engine it would probably be more like $300 hence the price I have it listed for.
