Depends on whether you are buying or selling!
If you are buying, they are high as hell.
If you are selling they aren't worth the cost to ship!!!

Well I have a good 029 top end. I wanted to know the average going rate cuz I'd like to sell it. But I don't wanna ask too much as I'm not really interested in squeezing every single penny out of people. I'd like to get rid of it but I'd like to help someone out who might be looking for one for this build off and can't afford one at the typical / expected high price....

I bought a 310 for $30.00.
Needed VERY minor cleanup and bearings.
I probably wouldn't have gone that high but I already had the bearings.

Got my saw up and running but the compression is only about 130# with a brand new set of rings.
Don't know WHAT the heck I'll have to do about that. Maybe get one of those deep reach plugs?
Anyone got any realistic ideas?

Guy on Ebay polished the OUTSIDE of his 346 cylinder. Maybe try that? He's also running a splitfire plug.

Long story:
A guy I know, no money called yesterday he straight gassed a 029 that he borrowed the owner already took the saw back. I told him yesterday to get it back and let me look at it. If he does I'll holler back. I'd like to help the guy out but if the owner is to mad at him he won't get it back.

No I think the owner took it back mad, and went and bought a new saw. My offer to help went no where.
