Got a 998 engine sat here, and need the space.

It's had lots of bolts and some bits scavenged from it for my 1340 build (I started and never finished, on motorbikes now!) and was very smoky when it was last in a car... I wanted a 1275, so got shot, instead of having it rebuilt.

Got the head off it, and have that, and have some ancillaries laying around for it too I'm sure, including a manifold and old standard (?) pea shooter exhaust i'd give away with it too.

I think the engine would need a rebuild, and the head an overhaul... but just a head may make it run better. It ran fine but was very smoky and was burning oil I think, and when valve stem seals (IIRC!) didn't fix it, and I found it was a 998 (logbook had been changed to 1275 when I bought the car) I bought a second hand bored out 1275 engine for my Mini instead.

I'm in BERKSHIRE. NEED THE SPACE, so want it gone!

Free to whoever will collect it, along with an exhaust, the head, the gearbox (still attached) and some other bits and bobs if wanted.
