Pentastar engine builder, new drivers cyl. head
For SaleEngine - Complete
Description:
I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler 3.6 Pentastar engine that was recently pulled. Has 75k miles on it, was running and driving, has a new driver's side cylinder head with less then 5000 miles.
The engine sucked dust past the air filter before I owned it, should be considered a builder, the cylinder walls don't have much of a cross hatch at this point. The cylinder head was replaced with a new head gasket after the damage was done. The work and parts for just the drivers side cylinder head cost $2500 at the dealer. At that point the throttle body and intake were completely cleaned in a parts washer, as well.
Again... This engine was running and driving pretty well, but should be rebuilt. Includes alternator and engine harness, but no computer.
Will sell the complete engine for $800, or just the new drivers side head for $600.
Engine is currently located in Salt Lake City. Not interested in shipping the whole engine, but can ship the one head.
The engine was tore down for a head gasket repair and dust was observed on the intake passages, in the head, on the valves, etc when it was apart. The honing on the cyl walls was minimal, they had been finely polished at that point. The new cyl head was tossed on then. The work was done at the dealer and they recommended a completely new engine.... of course. I paid $2500 to have it put back together with a new head, gaskets and clean out the intake.
I noticed that the replacement engine (2015, 18k miles) holds 5th gear longer and I gained just a touch of mileage over the old engine.
Any other questions?
