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. |

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. they cant get enough of the 3 cyl rumble while in the passenger seat...oh wait, thats just my rough idle.

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?
