A local guy wants 150 cash for his single cam d15b vtec he says it needs rings but also comes with the zc tranny not sure if it has lsd or not and everthing is complete. What do you guys think if i was to get that and tighten up all the loose ends ?? Input appreciated especially if you have already done something like this .
THx in advance

thats a good price for motor and tranny for sure. get the rings done and new gaskets/seals on it and it will practically be a new engine.

that is a dang good price dude I would jump on that quicker than I'd jump on Miley Cyrus at her 18th birthday party.

good deal!
but it more likley needs valve stem seals than rings.
a compression check will tell you.

So what exactly should I get done to the block and head when I take it to the machine shop?

i would do a compression check before taking the engine out.

compression was low i took the valve cover off and the rocker arms were loose
