You know you want it....POS BMC 30hp diesel

Got that terrible hankering to destroy your mind and hands rebuilding a POS (piece o'****) diesel engine? well, i have the critter for you. 30 hp of seized up (but now disassembled) British Marine Corp diesel engine! Totally ready for a complete rebuild, pistons exposed, whole heavy piece of steel bugger is taken apart, and all!

You know you want it! You can taste the success of getting this monster running again for the next 100 years!

Put it in your boat! Put it in your tractor! Make it into a genset! Go off grid! Make it a tractor+genset+boat and astound the world!

It's here....waiting for you....come and get it....manual included.

make me an offer. i am finishing out a blue water trimaran and so need sheit and good stuff too.

i would take $1500 cash for it....

engine mostly in olympia, wa state, will be all here next week.

This is how my dad sells stuff, minus the humor. "This car is a piece of crap, you'd be an idiot to buy it from me".

The OP just needs to replace "take" with "give" and it'll be off his hands in a jiffy.

U might also have some luck donating it to a trade school and applying a tax credit for donation on next years taxes. Many people off load cars this way

Re: You know you want it....POS BMC 30hp diesel

Are you selling a BMC or Yanmar? I used to work with both so can easily rebuild either. Need the actual model so can figure my rebuild cost and then the value of your 'core'' to see if it would be worthwhile.
