That is Mick Choi's engine.
At least the listing has photos and a description. Things have improved.
Also has the mandatory "8" in the price.

the reason it's still for sale is that it's a grand overpriced..... the whole kit is ok if it's set up properly.... the owner was the problem, not the installer which is why it never ran properly
