i would never buy a built engine from ebay. Who knows what kinda quality your getting. There is no reason to buy that with what kinda power you are looking for

 

agree with TheEngineer... for a E316g or even a nice 20g tubo you won't need a built motor to handle the power

 

and have you ran the car for a while after the ticking?? alot of times they just tick for a bit untill you get some oil flowing through the head, since ticking is normally in the head, and it could be a lifter, sticky vlave or a few other possibilities, but either way just dont hot-rod it and it should last a while yet..

 

it prolly is just lifters but still the mileage is gettin up there and i am tryin to save enough to get a 2.3 or 2.4 but it wont be from ebay, that just so happen to be the one i posted ill prolly buy from slowboy

i still say your spending more money than you need to by buying a stroker. If it comes to it just rebuild the engine you have and it will be much cheaper.
