Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

It's an extra engine (including ALL accessories) w/a broken cylinder, which is the only part that couldn't be re-used w/out any work (the case halves).

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I've got lots of MK2 engine pieces left over from an engine that had a broken cylinder, any suggestions on what to do w/the parts? I do have everything from the power steering pump to the case, everything... I thought about having the cylinders replaced in the case, as it had very low documented miles and is in outstanding shape, but it's cost prohibitive and I'd want to run it in a chassis before selling it, but that seems like more hassle than I want at the moment.
I have everything down to every single plug, nut and bolt, literally. It's an extra engine (including ALL accessories) w/a broken cylinder, which is the only part that couldn't be re-used w/out any work (the case halves). A title like "what to do with extra engine that has cracked cylinders" probably would've been more descriptive.
I did think about building a 3.8 or even 4.0 out of it, as it is the more desirable and longer throw crank with the bigger case of the M96 line up, but I don't know what I would do w/that motor either. I certainly wouldn't want to sell a hot rod motor w/out running it in a car first and that'd be a lot of work... It's a shame because everything is in such good shape.
Anyway, I thought about the table thing, and I may do that w/the bottom end if there's not any real interest in the stuff, the case and the bottom end do look good. It'd be one heavy coffee table though!
I don't know if I'll sell it whole or parts. PM me if you're interested in anything. If I end up parting it, there may be a coffee table in my future yet!
