Morning all.

So I recently stripped out a 12V92TA detroit engine - I had to disassemble most of it to get it out, and it never got sold as an assembly. In order to double the value of these 2+ tonnes, I payed a worker 40% of the total value of the scrap loads (after inspection from myself), for a 10% profit. Now I have all the tools necessary to bring the block down to bare minimum, and I hired an apprentice heavy duty tech to do this so he was more than eager to rip into it.



My question is : Having just started hiring people to do some of the scrapping separation, has anyone had experience as to whether or not this is worth the time on a small scale VS spending energy on picking up more mass and selling it off as low grade iron (mixed tin). I don't think hiring by the hour is a profitable venture, but I'm also at the point where I can try this out.

Right now I have an F350 frame a cab to get rid of, already stripped the parts of value - I'm debating loading it up as is and dumping it, or getting another young tech to completely strip it.
