Alright... I've been looking for an engine for my 89 accord for about 2 months now.... and I found one at a junkyard for $300 with 90k miles on it...well, I got to the junkyard and it looked pretty good... I took it home and upon closer inspection I see that I have all brand new Kem wires, Dist. Cap, 4 new Bosh plugs, brand new altenator, a gold plated valve cover... and to top it all off.... a triple plated graphite clutch :D I was a little pleased to find all of this out when I started to install my engine.. anyone else think I made out pretty well?

you suck man... that is a killer deal... i'd strip the parts off, but shit parts on it to replace it, take it back, then say it won't crank:chainsaw:

I actually might keep the gold cover... since my car is a light metallic bronze and w/ gold trim on the outside

Yeah I offered to do it for a price, so I get to pull my hair out cause it has to be perfect. It would be on his car now if the base paint was a gloss, damn clear coat. I just put a coat of clear on and then another tomarrow.
