OK.... I'm going to guess it's a Triumph motorcycle head for 1050cc, Liquid-cooled, 12 valve, DOHC, in-line 3-cylinder
There is no block in the pictures.
There is a spare cam on the floor
The valve cover that is shown is for a single cam....not dual.
Someone cannot spell....as they are claiming this is
"1998 Geo Metro Used Engine AS IS. Excellen condition."
Good luck getting $600 for a non-existent Geo Metro Engine.
We can get the whole car for that!
@ pvt_pwn...take along a picture of a REAL 98 engine.....block and all :)

it shows he has no feedback.....but actually if you click on the 0 it shows 1 neutral feedback.
The seller of the geo motor was also selling a laptop. The feeback he got was written in french and it said "costs too high and the seller does not respond to his email". I would definetely watch out.

@ mcmancuso
I saw a 2005 3 cyl DOHC discussion thread on teamswift.
Care to share the one you mention?

Haha. I definitely dont plant on buying this. One, it seems too risky, and two, I just want to get my metro in excellent running condition before summer comes around...let alone take on another project.

I have to make sure shes in tip top shape if I want to pick up the ladies. :P they cant get enough of the 3 cyl rumble while in the passenger seat...oh wait, thats just my rough idle.

Sir, yes sir!

I hate to spoil the party, but it's part of a V6 engine. That belongs to a DOHC V6 Mazda engine. Most likely out of a 626 or Ford Probe.

And I keep looking at that valve cover and thinking... not!

It's a G10 cover but only as wide as a SOHC. :-/

So, if the holes match up and you use the same time gear it will work?
