b-rock Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 picked up an 89 conquest tsi that was sitting in a barn for 8 years from having a locked up turbo. Motor and auto trans are in good shape. top end looked spotless. water lines were nasty from sitting so long but I have all the parts that come on that car from the factory. I am getting rid of it to do a SBF swap. Odometer has 52k miles, and it definitely shows, other than sitting for that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I hate to be a party pooper, but that engine will be no good after 8 years og sitting. Chances are, itd gonna br corroded from within, coolant/ water will corrode freeze plugs, water pump, and areas where it meets headgasket. The moment it gets turned on, expect over heating and leaks. Not to mention super dry bearings and possibly frozen rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
