What is your end goal? If you want to, it's a good opportunity to build a monster out of your current busted engine

Kind regards,

Spun big or main? If the main is spun the the block will need line boring which can get expensive. Just a spun big end is not a huge deal - at least the block and head will be ok, just need to resize/replace conrod and if you're lucky you'll get away with a crank grind.

invest in baffled oil pan and mechanical sympathy.

You wouldnt know the extent of the damage until the motor was stripped, could be as simple a set of bearings, linish the crank and a new set of bottom end gaskets, on the other hand, if its chewed the tunnel or rods, it can start getting expensive to repair and therefore the engine worth less.

Do you want to use it or sell it in the end?

You have indicated in your original post that you are are deciding between selling and rebuilding your engine, hence the 'what is it worth' question to assist with your decision.

We are trying to go that one step further and help since you have given us a bit of context... so we are trying to provide you food for thought. You're welcome.



If you must know, your engine with a spun bearing is worthless, hence the $10 offers.
