If I were to do a swap before the motor dies, what do you think I could get for the running motor and trans?
Car has 153k miles, think the head was replaced at some time before I bought it.
Runs good, just a bit noisy.
Here's a video:

There was a complete running, drivable 02 wagon on CL this morning, $700. That would be a score.
Gone pretty quick.

I've asked my boi how is an expert on swapping/selling/buying engines, he said you're probably going to get $350+ for your SPI. []

As far the noise goes thats typical on a SPI, but it's a bit too loud, tho?!?! [?]

The EGR may have cracked. Easy fix, though. [wrenchin]

As far as a new SPI cost, my buddy in parts here at the dealership says they typically run 2k new, but shops are going to quote you a couple hundred over cost. as high as 2500 to 2600 new. They're really hard to find right now though, Ford stops making parts that are ten years old from the current model year. Hope this helps.

I sold my engine only for $500 on CL. Listed it the night before I pulled it, had it sold 20 minutes after we got it out of the car.

Fyre_Flyer, where exactly would I look for a cracked EGR? On the exhaust manifold, tube, EGR itself?
I'm open to anything that may quiet this engine down.

I may end up selling to buy another Focus. Do people have a hard time selling these SPI motored Focus?

listen closely...theres a small knock when he revvs it

It is much more pronounced at cold startup. I've put almost 6k miles on it since I purchased it and there has been no change. I guess it is something I will have to live with, or at least until the motor dies.

Didn't get to view vid, but when my egr tube broke, it was next to the manifold flange, right where the brazing ended....
Pretty easy swap, fortunately it came apart with little trouble....

depends on the price of scrap metal......

seriously its just a matter of time until it lets go.... face it they all eat valve seats.

thats true it doesn't sound the best.... do it soon to be honest. Doesn't sound like an exhaust leak.
