For what this is worth, I sold one after the Lehman Bros. crash. Bought an 88'930 with rod knock noticeable upon warm up for 1.6 million yen. Dropped the motor, had the crank turned, case machined by hand and new bearings all for good price. Meanwhile I bought another motor from an accident car running for 4k that I put in instead of the motor I had taken out for a cheaper faster sale of the car. I sold the original core all dismantled but complete like that for 3.5k on yahoo auction here start price and only one bid. I always regretted that, selling in the trough. Prices after that went ballistic on cars and parts, yet we may be in another trough. The turbine that went with that core was also k26.
