Is there any point in me keeping my X12XE engine to split and sell? Otherwise I think I'll dump it... (46K miles)
Anyone think there's any point either way?

maybe someone would want it to rip apart, practice a rebuild on an engine that dont matter - good way to gain mechanical experience if u ask me, after all the principles are the same with a lot of engine

Advertise it on MIGWeb as well as on here, Tim... Maybe even phone up that VPSC place and ask if they want to buy it!

keep it and rip it apart - that way when the 2.0 goes in , you have more skills and experience

If I still had my old Corsa, I could have taken that engine off you Tim, and converted it to a manual!

Turbocharge it, up the compression ratio to around 16:1 and convert it to run on methanol!
should see around the 400bhp mark from it
