I have acquired a 2.5 which had a broken camshaft flange. I now need the cam, sprocket, front timing chain cover. intake manifold and injector lines. If you have a dead 2.5 lying around I would appreciate these bits. Please Pm with an idea of what you would like to get for them thanks Dan

 

As far as I can see the pistons have no marks on them. The head is off and cleaned up somewhat there appears to be no damage, no marks in any case, the pistons seem undamaged and the engine turns over easily the bores are clean and the original crosshatch is still slightly visible in spots. I do not know the circumstances of the failure. I bought it hoping the head was good which so far it appears to be. I believe that the engine has around 250Km on it. The engine in my car smokes a bit (white or blue not sure) when you pull away from a light, does not leave much if any of a wispy trail. It does not seem to use much oil though I have only had it for 3 months. There is no smoke white or otherwise to speak of when you floor it and keep it floored. The above leads me to believe that the valve stem seals are shot and possibly the valve guides. Biggest cloud of smoke I've seen was when I stopped after coming down a big hill at 110km\hr (70mph). I have not pulled the injectors yet to see if any are dribbling or have a poor spray pattern. That would be my first step. I was hoping to get the other head rebuilt and prepared to swap on hence the desire to get another cam. I would do the rings in the other block if the original bores are not good.
