Ok, quick question, what's a 31k engine worth (ball park), its a complete engine, 1mm O/S, has power valves, carbs and servo as well.
Seems to be in fairly good nick, barrels and head are stripped off it, so the crank can be inspected.
Any idea on value as some one is after one I have and I am in 2 minds about its value
Thanks in advance

Look at it as if you needed to buy an engine and had not got one.
You'd be talking at least £400 if lucky,
but realistically £500
So why would you sell yours for any less

cheers, so the £375 for the 31k engine, 31k carbs, power valves, servo, reed blocks and rubbers is probably a tad cheap then !

At a guess with carbs i would say 600 quid if its a realy good engine, i have a 350lc one fully rebuilt with brand new bores mint head etc vapour blasted cases and powder coated outers, i would say mines worth a minimum of £500 but mines not got carbs with it. If its under 600 quid and it all seems fine i would say buy it..............

£375.00 is cheap. I bought an F2 with standard bores and in fairly good condition less than 2 years ago and it cost me £300.00 off of ebay. I reckon that same engine would be £500.00 now looking at current prices. I still rebuilt it though. Most engines dont come with carbs, servo or cables either so worth more with them I reckon.

its me who is selling it, I am not buying it !
Had a quick look over it;
Bores are 1mm O/S, pistons and rings are good, need a good clean though
Bores are good, just need a quick rub round with emery cloth and a good clean
Crank seems good
Clutch is good
Carbs have the slides and springs missing, other than that they look good
Powervavles are all good and move freely
Servo and cables are all there and look good
I reckon £350 is probably a fair price for it
