Hey fuckers! Long time since I've posted in here… been busy with work and now I've got a little daughter on the way! Due by mid Feb but by how she's been feeling, its prob gonna be earlier.
Anyway.. So we are moving to a new rental house (with an honest-to-god good sized separate workshop in the back! :rock
and I have an old cbr F2 engine in my basement that like 1/2 way dismantled… I had taken a small digger on my baby and the lower crank-case fell onto the granite corner of a sidewalk and cracked it.. My original plan was to either get it welded up or just buy a lower half used crankcase and while putting it back together, I was going to bore the jugs and drop in F4i pistons. Another reason I needed to bore the jugs as one cylinder got rust on the walls and piston…
Well, we all know the story of best laid plans… so it has now sat in my basement for the last 2 years doing nothing and I need to move it…
So my question is..? whats the best thing to do with it? I don't necessarily want to take it all apart sell piece by piece as I know that can end up being a huge hassle and PIA as well as a serious time suck. My ideal would be either to sell it outright as is for like $200-$100 or if I can't do that, is it possible to get some money out of it by recycling it somewhere? I mean fuck, thats like 150 lbs of high quality aluminum in that block.
So I would love to hear your guys opinions on what I can do with this thing.. I can take pics of how far its disassembled to get a better idea later tonight if you guys want.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.
Oh and if your in the Athens/Atlanta area and want an F2 engine for parts or something… hit me up!
