What to do with a spare Engine?
I've got a spare engine that had at one point broken a rod. I think a previous post of mine shows that damage.
Well I've replaced the entire thing and now have it sitting around. What should I do with it?
Not worth much to me. Taking up a massive amount of space. Should I disassemble it and see if there is visible damage to the block itself. What pieces should I try and save and which are easily thrown away without a second care in the world? Remeber there was some serious damage so most things could be FUBAR even beyond what would be visible to the naked eye.
Not like I think I couldnt use it in the future but its probably not worth keeping that long.

I'd check it out and sell the good pieces...or sell the whole thing as one piece. Put a note on the bulletin board of your local speed shop.

:rolleyes: Disassemble and photograph parts with a digital camera. Sell the good parts to us (your buddies) or on E-bay. Heck, even at junk prices you offset the cost of a camera and open up space in the garage. :D
