    10 year old reman motor...

    Hope this is the right place to post this. I have found a d16z6 motor for free.the motor has been in a box, in a shed for about 10 years. I have no need for it and would like to get rid of it, but I wanna make sure every thing is ok. What type of things should I check for and what things could go bad from sitting so long? Oh and it's a reman and still bolted to the Wood pallet. I just don't wanna sale it and then get a call that it locked up on the person in a week. Thanks guys.

          Reman? Well since there is an exhaust manifold gasket there I'd say you just have a used motor, 20 years oldish? Maybe it was pulled because its bad, or maybe Someone swapped in a different motor. I'd say pull the valve cover and see what the inside of the head looks like and try and turn the crank to see if it turns. Could be worth scrap, could be worth a couple hundred hard to say.

          Maybe find a local buyer and agree to refund some if it ends up having low compression or something.

            That's why I was asking cause I have a guy that might want it. Don't wanna go into the story again but I got a shed full of Honda stuff and i'm still going through all of it. I was sure hoping when I seen the box that it was a h22. But maybe this stuff will help get me closer to my goal.

              From the sounds of it the guy that left all these parts behind probably did work out of his shed/driveway. I would take a guess that most of the parts are probably parts that have been swapped out.

              I am basing this off the fact that everything was just left there and that engine does not look like a fresh rebuild. Probably is the old motor that was replaced by the engine that came in that crate. That's what we always used to do when ever we swapped out engines. The old one went back into the crate and was shipped out for recycling.

              Only way to tell for sure is to crack open the valve cover, as mentioned, and see what it looks like. Make sure before you try and turn the crank over by hand that you pour some clean motor oil down the spark plug tubes. this will help the dry rings from breaking or scratching the cylinder walls if they are seized.

              Hopefully I'm wrong and you did hit the parts pot of gold.
