Thursdave 10 Posted January 23, 2017 Hi folks, looking likely I'll be going down the 16vG60 route with my poorly G60, and after talking to the legendary John down at JMR, first step on the road would be a 9A engine. Anyone got one for sale? What sort of price should I be looking to get one for? Cheers folks, Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted January 23, 2017 I've Got a forged 9A bottom end spare, 9A head too and half a g60 charger, all spares i had when i did My 16v-g60 Engine yonks ago. Forged pistons are brand new, 83mn jobbies, only ever Got the bores taken out to size and kept the lot as spares so never even run. Be a good base for a g60 valver Engine.

Thursdave 10 Posted January 23, 2017 Don't need the charger but that does sound very nice. Is it in a full block or just the crank and pistons? Shipping from Italy might be a pain but definitely interested, dependant on price! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Complete bottom end I think, been packed up for years so memory a bit dim now..i'll check. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted January 24, 2017 Got a freshly skimmed KR head if that helps the cause and its just a short trip away down the M62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 24, 2017 9A bottom end with a KR head is a great combination, I'd go for that if you can! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thursdave 10 Posted January 24, 2017 I may have a complete 9A lined up if the one from veedubbed doesn't come through. Forged internals sounds nice but my wallet is already cowering in fear! Would a 9A block / KR head work alright with the G60 / 16vG60 conversion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would a 9A block / KR head work alright with the G60 / 16vG60 conversion? From memory, I recall one of the dowel pegs needs shortening to fit the KR head on a 9a but that's about it. I couldn't tell you about how it'd be suited to the conversion. The head I've got has had some flow work done and is missing the KR cams, but I suspect you'd want some cams to suit the conversion in any event.

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Pog's right Dave, one of the pegs need knocking flush with the block, especially when using the metal 2.0 16v ABF headgasket, like i did. I even used two before buying JE's but found that it was a crap solution. ARP's are a must for the head and the KR head would be ideal, try and get a set of 2.0 16v ABF cams installed and you'll love it! The block's there mate, no crankshaft though as i sold it along with the sump years back. Anyway, you need the block+pistons so i'll try and get down tomorrow morning and pull it all out, then get you some photos sent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
