FROM SCRAP TO CASH

FROM SCRAP TO CASH
Managing your scrap is an everyday chore. We all know aluminum pistons are worth more than aluminum mill waste, but by removing pins and rings it is worth even more. There are special buyers for aluminum out there, and they will also buy aluminum heads. Crankshafts are clean #2 and worth more than plain cast iron heads and blocks. It is fine putting all steel together, i.e.. bolts, rings, wrist pins and milling scrapes. Separating out bronze pin bushing, guide liners and pilot bushing can bring more value. I know space can be limited, but if you can find room to separate and keep it organized this will make you money.
