My friend has just had an rst engine built using new pistons and rings, new oil pump, new bearings and arp bolts.

He has now been offered another engine which he is gonna buy and wants to know how much he should sell this standard rebuilt bottomend for??


john.

 

350 quid, most people will want uprated low comp pistons now days anyway!

 

Is that all its worth, it cost 3 times that to build!!!!!




john.

 

If he was happy with the price he was charged, and its still new, surely he knows what its still worth?

 

depends who built it too

i personally wouldnt buy a engine thats been built by a hme mechanic thats donw less that 2k miles

but if a pro built it then recon 350 is about right as ya can get em built to ya own spec for around a grand


its abit like rebuilding a s2 turbo, may spend 10K on it but its still worth 2500 to most people unless its special
