Title: More ebay silliness...
Post by: Boyracer on August 19, 2008, 11:55:40 AM
Hartge 2.1 engine?

Atleast crankshaft has stroke of 72 mm which means it is from 1,6 liter M40, bah!

Exhaust manifold is not stock. Seems it has bit larger diameter pipes than stock but there is some funky design that has 2 longer pipes and 2 pipes that join together early and only one goes to flange.

Maybe the cylinder head cover is legit :D

Looks like a nice engine, doubt anything on its Hartge except for the valve cover

Why did he spray paint the inside of the cylinder head?

Actually, the exhaust manifold is indeed stock. Its taken from a RHD car.

LHD and RHD have different exhaust manifold. The reason is to clear the steering column.
