rotor and housing worth?

just curious, how much good TII rotors and housings worth?

what about the rest of the internals?

I wanted to sell my TII motor as a whole but no one seems to want it, so I'm considering to part the engine into pieces.

yeah, i know. A lot of people are interested in the internals. But I have no reference on how much to sell them for. I don't even have any idea on an average price.

rotors are generally useable or not, not much in between. useable is one that just needs new seals and cleaning, and unuseable is one that has blown apex seals. Rotors from a t2 can go anywhere from $25 each to $100 each depending on buyer, seller, shipping, immediate need to buy or sell, etc.

Rotor housings on the other hand have varying degrees of quality, which you wont know until you've cleaned it up fairly well. average housings have at least one groove on one edge, 1-2mm wide and up to 1mm in depth, commonly referred to as chrome flaking. these are useable but will never be the strongest engine in a rebuild; they usually go for $25-75 depending on buyer/seller as above. above average would have only small spots of chrome flaking/grooving here and there, no more than 1-2" in length total. These might go for $75-125 depending, as above. Finally, excellent or almost new, housings have almost no detectable groove on either side, and no flaked off chrome at all, and are as close to a new housing as you can get (out of a used engine). These might sell for $100-175 depending on the above conditions.

I usually offer rewards for core parts myself, seeing as how Im a rebuilder and need them constantly; I usually offer $25 per part sight unseen for s4 NA stuff, and $50 per part sight unseen for all others, unless the housings are stated to be in excellent condition or something out of the ordinary.
