Well, my busted up 4g63t is all but out at this point.  The alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, cylinder head, starter, and rad are all out, all that remains in the car is the block, transmission and a few wires and hoses.  I pulled the cam shafts, rockers and lifters out of the head and set those aside as they will be making their way to ebay.  The cylinder head will probably go to a recycler since it has some stripped out holes, one of which being a spark plug tunnel so it's pretty much junk.  I'm going to try to get around to pulling the valves as those are still good.  The alternator is probably going in to Auto Zone or O'Reilly's so they can sell it to a refurbisher, it's so gummed up with engine grease that there's no way that'll sell on ebay.  I cleaned off the starter, I'm going to be cleaning off the AC compressor and power steering pump, those will all go on ebay probably.  The only one I might hold on to would the starter, it could be handy to have.  Of course I'm waiting on all of these until after my new engine arrives so I can replace anything that might be broken or showing age. 

The good news is that the pistons are not cracked, though it is obvious that the block was reconditioned once as there are marks on the cylinder walls from when it was honed, also cylinder 2 is way over bore with a stock piston in it, there's one hell of a gap between the piston and the cylinder, luckily the piston rings held up.  No signs of cylinder damage so the block is still good so far as I can tell.  I'll know for sure once we pull it out and check the crank.  I'm pretty sure I was starting to see some failing bearings but it wasn't driven much once it started so the block should still be fine.  The rods weren't hitting the block so they might still be good.  I got off easy.

Keep an eye out on ebay for my:

valve cover

cam shafts with lifters and caps

block with or without pisons, not sure.

power steering pump

ac compressor.

Trash:

Alternator basically

cylinder head

all wheel drive tranny

There will be pictures, I'm borrowing Sai12's camera so I can put stuff on ebay, I'll put some up here possibly tomorrow if I have time.
