Subject:      Do 1.9L engine cores have any value?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2"

I was given a 1.9L engine, which is literally a basket case.  The PO
said it had bad heads, but he completely dis-assembled everything, and
I have about four boxes of loose parts, and an empty case.  Someone
else has offered to give me another 1.9L engine (still assembled).
I already have several dead 2.1L engines to practice on, if I chose
to attempt to learn engine rebuilding.  So my questions are:

In general, do any engine rebuilders outright buy 1.9L core engines(as
opposed to allowing a core return as part of an engine purchase), and,

Since my engine is apart, does it have any value as a core?  I realize
that shipping it all would cost more.  Do the individual major parts
have any real value?  I think I have seen the occasional block, crank,
or camshaft on Ebay, but have never paid attention to what bids (if
any) they received.  Thanks in advance to any responders.

Cary
