Free: 1994 Miata Motor (New Piston Rings Required)

[Flying Goose]

All,

I'm relocating and losing my garage. I have a blown 1994 Miata motor with approximately 150k miles. Compression and leak down indicated worn/damaged piston rings. If you are looking for a motor to build, this might be for you. Please note that the TB, CAC, and assorted sensors have been removed. Basically just the block, head, and intake manifold.

I'm located in Fishersville, VA. In lieu of PMs, please send requests directly to jakep@vt.edu or call 540-357-4459.

Thanks for looking,

Flying Goose

I think I'll take it....wonder how similar the mechanicals are on 94-95 1.8's are to 96-97's.

really wish i would have seen this yesterday. not sure when i'd be able to pick it up anyways.

If you want it joey you can grab it since it's pretty much a direct fit for your car. I know there was a power diff and possible compression difference for 94-95 1.8's versus 96-97's. But if you don't take it let me know so I can possibly take it off his hands.

I could use this for the Challenge car. If Scott could pick it up, I could grab it within a week.

Sorry Jason after Joey passed I jumped on it and am picking it up this weekend. Probably going to rebuild this one to take the place of my 97's 1.8 that's been burning a quart of oil every two weeks since the Spring of last year.
