Is there a value/ market for used pistons and cylinders?
Particularly 1.8

Or is it just as good to scrap them for aluminum and steel $?

Original German cylinders are valuable and should NOT be scrapped. My old 1.8 cylinders are currently being bored to 96mm. Can’t help you on price though, sorry.

$$$ ?

Did that mean scrap for money?

As far as boring then it when i did my 2056 i couldn't find anyone willing to bore out cylinders. Everybody was saying it wasn't cost effective.

Any markings on cylinders to show they are German ones
