like the title says would you sell a newly remaned renesis engine you got for free or would you take it apart and use the parts (rotors, eccentric shaft, counterwieghts, flywheel, etc.) in bridge ported s4 housings. and run a crazy n/a? whats you oppinion on the subject?

depends what your goals are. do you want a renesis in your car? or do you want a faster car? you could sell it for enough to get a nice turbo set up most likely. one thing i wouldnt do is take it apart, it'll probably worth less in pieces (but check! it might not!)

The renesis parts buy you very little compared to what you could get by selling it as a complete engine. You could sell the engine off and use the cash to buy a street ported S5 short block.

Think about it: the minute you crack that block open, you reduce its value by the cost of the rebuild it would take to put it back together.

If I have that problem I will buy a 20b and another renesis rotor and build a race ported 20B with renesis rotors.
