Edit Reason: clarification
)
I have 2 austin engines , 3 bearing and a 2 bearing 1928.
Ive built both up and the 2 bearing needs a hone and new rings ,its complete and but low on compression and LC head etc, I'm going to use the later 3 bearing with HC head.
I don't need 2 engines and as different crank cases starter etc not much use as spares to me.
So my question is - spend a little money do the work sell the engine whole and complete or break it as parts ? the crank case has no repairs, the bacon slicer runs well and was refurbished, head is good no repairs and the water ways decent , block could do with a hone, its had most of its studs replaced and some helicoils, pistons need new rings, I'd do bearings whilst in there, clutch is brand new and flywheel only has a little wear on teeth. It has a strange magneto - dizzy conversion but is very nice piece of kit.
I think I'll get more and better value selling as parts, more projects get helped , and no need to spend anymore money on it, mate thinks do the work and sell as a complete unit ?
Thoughts / advice ?
