How much can I ask for my motor?

[evil666]

I have a 109 block that has between 600 and 700 miles since my total rebuild and something went wrong with the main bearings. I could sell the motor fixed but I rather sell it broken so this way the buyer could get it rebuilt by the engine builder that he wants and maybe even get a warranty. It is a 109 block with a N/A crank, billet center mains , weisco forged pistons, stock rods, arp studs for the mains and arp bolts for the connecting rods. The rings could even be reused since the new motor didn't have a lot of mileage. This short block is without the cam, timming chain cover, and double timming chain. What I want to know from you guys is how much can I ask for this motor and add at least 300$ for shipping of it.

Thanks
Marco

What went wrong?

Did you not have a warranty?

It's impossible to put a price on it over the net and without knowing exactly what went wrong.

Need to list who built the motor. Balanced rotating assembly? did metal go through the motor?
I think I would take the caps,rods and pistons out and buy another crank and build you a new motor.
Very hard to put a value on someone elses property without knowing all of the specifics. Just my opinion, I am not looking to purchase.

I'll give you a price. Motor unseen, from Canada, and at the very least needing the bottom end rebuilt... 1000...Not a dime more from someone who knows these engines. Having a NA crank in it does not help the situation either.

The honest truth is that this motor has been rebuilt twice in the 600 to 700 miles that I did. Both times because the main bearings wore off and I don't know whyThe machine shop and the builder are to different people. The first time it broke down the machine shop didn't want to take any responsabilty. So I rebuilt it again with the same engine builder but a different machine shop. The new machine shop couldn't find anything wrong with the motor except for telling me that it was contamination caused by an oil additif. I had a hard time believing that because the only thing I added to my oil was zddp, but went ahead and got another rebuilt. Drove a few hundred miles and the same thing happened again. Oil psi starts to drop slowly. The last time I saved the crank because I caught right away so the crank just needed a polish, and this time I think I caught it right away again but haven't had the chance to really check it. This time my friend which is my engine builder says that it happened because I used 5w30 oil instead of 20w50, but I have a hard time believing that because the first time it happened it was with 10w40 oil.
Two different machine shops in montreal and A friend of mine was the builder and yes the motor was balanced. Anyways I lost total confidence in the machine shops to getting the motor done localy. The reason I want to sell this motor is because I was thinking of maybe buying a stroker motor that weber sells that I don't have to send a core.
