Hi guys, as the title says. what would a fully refurbed engine be worth? it would be all ported and polished and all the work to a very high spec?

thanks tom

depends who did the refurb and the effort they put into it.

Sheffield engine company and well all they do is engines all day every day. they are very good

Replace all the bearings, cut the valve seats etc?

If so I would have thought that would be worth a grand... but you then have the issue of finding someone who'll pay it.

All the bearings, valves, valve stems, rings, etc etc. everything to be honest

The only way to find out what it is worth is to test it on the market.

You must have an idea of what it is worth to you.

I think the warranty / guarantee that would come with it would be worth as much as the block itself. Anyone who's about to fork out replacement car money for a block + fitting will want to know that there is some comfort there against human error in the re build process.
Best people to ask are probably JBT / Joe who have the misfortune of having to deal with sourcing and fitting to the unlucky few, they'll know what people are really willing to pay. All you'll get from an open question like this is a much lower number than you know it's worth.
