Reply To: Valve clearance, camshaft, camshaft tensioner – a problem or a serious fault?
I have the opportunity to purchase the entire engine for parts, but the question arises: since the seller insists that the bearing is damaged, is it worth buying?
The cost of the entire engine is approximately £244.
At that price , if he can be sure other parts are not damaged and the compression was good, then you can rebuild that engine using new bearings in this case or use it to salvage parts to your main one.
