Default Advice regarding yb

Hi guys. Trying to decide if it would be better for me to break my new built yb engine or sell complete. Want to get as much back as I can really.

Any advice most appreciated. Cheers.

I was aiming in the region of a comfortable 450 but may do more. The engine alone owes me 5k ish without the original engine i started with so that's what I would want or i would break it.

Can I ask why you are not using it in your car? You have built a cracking engine by the description of it and I presume you have a 3 door which it will go in?

Sounds like a good spec engine. Only thing I would do is take out the ARP head stud kit and just fit normal bolts.

ARP's have been known to cause the block to crack

Fair enough. I would think someone will want to buy the complete engine.

Sorry guys it has standard head bolts not ARP ones. I was reading spec from original quote from Matt lewis but then was advised the arp kit was toilet.

The block is a 205.
