Why not, replace any toasted valve covers, put a good used head and injectors on it and you have a good spare engine around or sell it for 10 grand.

I would not even bother.
The valve cover is most likely aluminum, not zinc. So aluminum melts between 1200 and 1400 degrees and this could cause a lot of damage internally to the engine. Gaskets are one thing that comes mind and all injectors are another. If they used water to control the fire, more likely than not you have water in the crankcase.Curly88 Thanks this. -
If you are trying to establish a offer to the insurance. Its junk and has little value. Offer them scrap metal price plus discount. If it is at your yard, your saving them money and no storage. There will be no additional towning. No auction yard. Sell them on the fact that your doing them a favor.
Now does it have value to you?
Well that's none of thier business.
By industry standard it's a total lose. Worth about 1000.00 bucks best. -
Bean Jr., Curly88 and jamespmack Thank this.

Because of fire damage, the engine would not meet Cat criteria for core acceptance. I wouldn't give more than scrap price for it.
Bean Jr., daf105paccar, pushbroom and 3 others Thank this.
