Value of engine apart?
Question for you engine gurus. Someone is interested in my engine that took a piston hit. My mechanic thinks the crank would be alright and the piston and maybe a rod would be the worst of the engine mishap.
Is this a fair price? 3.0 engine $1000 if crank is damaged $1500 is crank is ok this would be a long block engine which has carrera fed tensioners and turbo valve covers. trying to get a fair price

Jeff
I am asking if the price is fair? I feel like its under when I price compontents apart, prices are depend whos buying Case $500 to $1500 Crank $650 to $1000 Carrera Fed Tensioners $350 used Turbo Valve covers $75 to $100 5 Pistons $400? I am trying to get a fair price for items without ripping someone off. My mechanic knows someone who wants my engine, but I feel like the one being taken at the above prices as I think about it.

The price is low, no question. I would think a 3.0 core is worth at least 2k. Depending on the buyer maybe more.
Figure 1000 for the case 400 min for the heads 150 for cam tower 75 for core cams 50ish for the valve covers 100 oil cooler Tensioners 250-300 crank 650-750 (if standard/standard) rods 100 Rocker arms 50 oil pump ? The above are what I see and have paid/sold as minimum prices for these parts. Could get a lot more for some of them. Now, is it a long block or complete? Because there is fan and housing, alternator, shroud, intake, airbox, WUR etc. It is a give away at 1500 for sure. The pistons could go either way. 5 pistons are hard to sell and it all depends on how they measure out. Is the 6th one junk for sure? Hope that helps a little? Cheers

Yikes!
I still think your mechanic is hosing you, but just my opinion. I know I would pay more than 1500 for it. Cheers
