Re: whats it worth
Hard one, can be awkward not wanting to rip a mate off or insult him, but not wanting to be ripped off either.
I just swapped a complete engine for a set of rods and an air cleaner, I guess it's what you are both happy with in the end.
If an engine is $1-200 I guess it has to be a portion of that, keeping in mind you aren't having to buy all the bits you don't need the portion may be higher than the % of engine you are buying.

Re: whats it worth
I'd say rods alone are worth more than a knackered shortblock.
Taking a worn out motor apart and pressing the pisons off them is a dirty turd of a job.

I was willing to pay that for L14 rods
I disagree
i think l14 rods would be worth A lot more than l16 rods since they are so much harder to get.
since NZ is one of the places to get L14's?
