I have an engine out of a 2008 Honda Civic that is blown. Any ideas what the engine is worth at the scrap yard? I plan on separating the aluminum and steel parts since I want to open it up anyways.
Did that one have the cracked block leaking coolant?
Scrap steel is going $5.50 a hundred pounds around here, so all mine is laying around waiting till it gets over $10 a hundred again. Not worth hauling right now to me.

Nope, this one had the hit an object on the road destroying the bottom of the radiator and then keep driving until the engine fries! haha
This engine has a plastic dip stick and it was melted in half it got so hot...
I am putting in a 2011 engine so I won't have to worry about the engine block cracking. Only 2006-early 2009 engines had the cracking problem.
I sold about $8 worth of scrap metal at a salvage yard once. Pulled my little 4'X 8' trailer with a WRX I once owned. The place was a mud hole. By the time I spent a couple of bucks at a coin operated car wash cleaning my car and the trailer plus the cost of gas, I didn't make anything. I just sit any scrap metal next to my trash on trash day and a trash picker will usually take it.
I hauled a load of scrap metal one time. Scratched up my truck bed. Tore the moulding off the tailgate, truck got muddied up like a pig and I threw out my back. But hey, I got $28.00

Some folks are plain careless with their litter. I sometimes wonder if they are intentionally throwing screws, paperclips, nails, glass and such on the ground.
Put it to the curb with a free sign you haul. It won't stay there long, at least not in my neck of the woods. Scrappers still running around here trying to make a buck.
