Anyone selling parts?

[skyrunner]

Anyone parting out a 1995 Nissan Sentra or similar (GA16DE engine)? Or does anyone have a suggestion for a different forum where I should look?

I need an exhaust camshaft...

Thanks

I don't know if this helps, but you can get a whole new engine for about $300.

I guess I don't know the right places to look. Where would you buy a motor from if you were going to?

You can try JGYcustoms.com They specialize in SR20, but I'm sure they have some GAs.

Also, eBay should be just fine. I found a few GAs on eBay for around $300.

Hey Jimmy,

I finally got off of my ass and called some junkyards around here today and no one will be willing to sell me just a single cam. It will cost $285 from the dealership for a new one and I am not willing to sink that much money into this car. If you are still willing, I would like to buy this from you. I can paypal you right away, or I can send you a check. Let me know what works best for you. Thanks,

Steve

Yes, I will help you on this.
you can mail a check for the amount I mentioned. I will take some pictures this Saterday and send to your personal e-mail address for verification. After your confirmation, I will remove it ASAP and mail to you.
Please be advised: Before I start to take it out, $ is refundable. Once I deliver to post office, No refund, no hussles. Deal?
Just wonder, how are you sure your problem is in the cam shaft? Take a look at your work-in-process, It will cost more $ and time to go all over for any little things.
Once I send it to post office, will send you a copy of the PO receipt.
we will exchange sddresses.

The cam shaft was not the problem actually. When we took off the head, we noticed the car was out of time because the timing chain had broken one tooth on the exhaust cam shaft, and 8 on the idler chain. Amazingly, the valves were not bent. We replaced the timing components and were starting to put the exhaust cam back in place when it cracked in half. Surprisingly the caps were fine. I think the shaft must have been weakened by whatever broke the teeth on the timing gears. I am not 100% hopeful that the car will run perfectly after putting it back together, but for $41 I figure it is worth a shot.

PM me with your address or just send it in the email with the pics: [email protected]

I will try to mail the check tomorrow if you get pics to me tonight.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the info. I imaged it's critical to take of parts off the head related area.

I will take photos for your verification tomorrow.
