There are a few reasons;
Only good parts left of the motor are the crank, con rods, maybe cams, passenger side head and maybe the block. Been advised the block will need to be bored more than 10mil over, which can cause oil burning issues. All oiling components are toasted, needs new cam oiling sprocket a coil pack and a few other things. So unless I get it bored for sleeves need new case halves, then sent to outfront motorsports or just get them sleeved, which is basically a whole new engine build. Shit a comparable block from iag is 8-10k
Going sleeved and full send turbo is a wet dream of mine. Just getting it back on the road will cost 5k or more and i just spent a butt-load of between the trans and last engine build.
Another 7-8mo with it collecting dust or sell it. I mean I dont want to sell it. Just seems smarter to cut ties before another 10k goes poof. Looking at the return on investment here says each down time only nets 3mo fun. That's 10k for 3mo up time and then 9mo or more to save and rebuild. I dare not say how much in totality ive spent on it.
