seized piston

[quads14589]

i could buy a 04 predator that has a sized piston in it for 2000 is it worth it?

sure if thats all it is is a seized piston

but usually somthing else has gone or is gonna go

What caused the piston to seize? No oil? May need to supply some details but, if that is the case, you'll need a whole new motor which could cost about $1500 to redo....

I'd offer $1200 for it.

ya there was no oil in the tank

Then I'm sure the damage is far more severe then just a siezed piston, it just didn't run long enough for the trans to lock up.

I enjoy a good project, I buy lots of blown up junk but I wouldn't give 2 grand for it.

i just bought a 03 pred for $200.00 supose to be locked up but when i tore it down i found the rod was out and first gear was siezed on the shaft :( does anybody know who sells aftermarket rod kits but anyway ask some ??????? before you buy
