well my engine has finally had enough n given up, my mechanic says its not worth rebuilding, so im after a engine in good condition, preferably a g200, im in brisbane and willing to spend a few hundred $$$ but dont want nethin expensive as it will be fully rebuilt before it goes back in the gem. im in brisbane let me know if you have anything, also im not interested in blocks or bits and pieces i want a complete engine, my engine is screwed so its not worth usin the parts,

i have a few stock 1600's in good nick complete from $150-$250 and also have a 1600 that has had some work (overbore) in good nick $350, as far as your g200 goes it is WORTH rebuilding because u can't get em cheap anymore, unless u have cracked the block i would sleeve the bores if it has been been taken out too far. As for the crank they are a bit more harder to fix, but as the wreckers want $1000+ for these motors now it is worth doin it up.
cheers
