I am about a week away from pulling this engine. It needed a new oil cooler. Any good guesses on the price differerence between parting and selling the engine whole? 98,000 miles.

 

Youre selling it just because it needs a new oil cooler....? Wrecked car or? Any info on the engine like compression numbers etc? Cylinder damage?

I MIGHT be interested....

 

I am just trying to pay bills. I bought a pair of the cars and am just in the process of parting it. I just know that it needed the new cooler seal. I haven't taken the chance to do the compression test. I will get to that when I get around to it.

 

YOUR PARTING OUT A GOOD 951!!!???

 

98,000 miles. any damage? where you located? I have a friend in search for a car with those kind of miles. could save you the hassel of parting it.

 

Amen brotha.

SACRELEGE!!! Now go pray to the gods of Porschdom and repent!

Ah said PRAY! Go naw and be at peeaacce with yoself.

 

I pray every night that I can make ends meet for my fam. Sorry

 

Whatever is wrong w/ the oil cooler might be the deciding factor on selling the engine whole or in parts. If it's just a leaking housing seal/or someone caught mixing because the o rings are shot at first sight then the whole motor is worth money to somebody. If the o rings leaked to the point that there was a milkshake and someone drove it 'til they heard a rod knocking then, IMO, you're better off parting it.

Pull the drain plug, check the oil, and look for fillings...

 

Fix the cooler seals and try selling it whole. Probably bring some good money. 951's seem to be going up in prices lately..

 

Thanks. I am not able to get it running to the point that I can check for damage. I guess parting it will be the only option then because I can't sell an engine that may have the damage. I am guessing the kid I bought it from would have run it till milkshake. Thanks

 

Hey man no offense intended; just having a bit of fun sorry 'bout that


Yeah I'd also recommend fixing the oil cooler and selling the engine as a whole. You should be able to fetch a pretty penny for it.

Good luck with everything.

 

Whats the going price for a running turbo engine now a days.. I am also about to part an 86 turbo in New jersey and am interested in what you guys think the engines are worth.

if you decide to part it, let me know what you want for the cam tower assembly

 

I've paid between 1200 and 1500 for one with 50k and one with 80k just a few months ago. Depends on what's included. Those two were mostly just longblocks.
