I have a 1.9l engine sitting in my back yard. It has very new cylinder sleves and very new pistons. I'm not too sure how new as the van was bought and the engine was immediately changed (due to bad valves, not too sure what else was done). My guess is that the pistons and cylinders have less then 1000 miles on them. I could try to find out the milage if interested. They sure look nice sitting in the engine with the heads off. They are very nice and shiney and the pistons have a small amount of black on them, but not much. I'm not too sure what there parts are worth, but the other option is sending the engine to boston engine for a $300 core, but then there is shipping, so we would need to get $200 for everything to make it worth it. anyone interested? blake 84 vanagon SLC Utah |
