I've decided to do an engine swap in my S2 so I need to start by getting rid of some parts. What's the value of an S2 engine with almost 180000 miles on it? Should I leave it in the car so the future owner can see that it actually runs or pull it and put it on a stand?

Someone must have an idea what the value of an S2 engine is? Or would it better to part out the engine?

If you are ready to start the swap, I would just begin pulling it and set it aside on a stand. Just be sure to take care and cover ports and such. You could take a video of it running before you pull it if you are that worried about it.

When was the last leak down performed, results? Rod Bearings ever replaced? How about Cam Tentioner and pads? Depending on the leakdown, the motor may be worth more in parts. Cam's can run $1k as well as the crank. A rebuilt head can sell for $2k. Don't expect to sell this parts overnight and your prices will probably be lower.

im interested in the engine and im about 50 minutes away. how soon are you thinking about pulling it out?

The leak down's a good idea, I'll do that prior to pulling it and get it on video. I don't think the rod bearings have been done, but the other engine maintenance items were all done within the past 2000 miles. I've only had the car for a short time and have only put a couple thousand miles on it. The history on this car is a mystery unfortunately.

That's great to hear, I want to sell it to someone local. I will most likely be pulling it towards the end of August unless I have a buyer lined up that needs it sooner.
