K-series R400(ish) engine bits

Recommended Posts

I've left the 7 alone for 3 years since my car was fully rebuilt, but now the next round of upgradeitus has bitten and I'm going Duratec. My 200bhp DVA k-series engine is for sale.

It has done 4500 miles since being assembled by DVA, and I've enjoyed using it ever since. However I feel the need for another 40-50hp in my life and have sourced the base of my next engine already.

I figured I would get more cash for the engine if I split it, so here goes... The engine has been utterly reliable & the bits advertised are all in great working order.

The dry sump pump was serviced by Titan about 3000 miles ago, and the dry sump pan was replaced with a new one 800 miles ago as my old one had a little weep.

The head is a proper MS2 VHPD jobbie - and was new when the engine was built to this spec 4500 miles ago.

 

Absolutely no issues with this engine. No head-gasket issues or overheating, even in 35+ degree heat this summer in Switzerland/Italy. I've run it with a big triple-core race radiator and it has been a pussycat.

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm working away from home this week, but intend to take the engine out of the 7 this weekend, so parts should be available for shipping/delivery/collection next week *thumbup*

 

I'll be in touch over the weekend to sort out payment & delivery with you all.

Enjoy the upgrades 😬
