Default Looking for junk parts

So a little background. Over the lock down last year I started offering free automotive engineering classes to local kids out of my garage. What started out as a handful of kids evolved to over 40 kids ranging in age from 6-17 passing through my space. With that said I am going to kick things off again in Jan and the cool thing is that this time around we are requiring that all parents make a donation to a local charity that fixes up cars for single moms in need.

I am looking for random items such as cylinders, camshafts, valves or anything that might serve as a visual the kids would be able to hold in their hands. Let me know what you've got and I'll take it off your hands!

No parts to offer, just want to applaud what you're doing. Very cool.

Any interest in an old Honda scooter?

It's a 1977 Honda Express

50cc 2 stroke

Almost all there, could be a runner

I can come up with all kinds of automotive components from work. Entire motors and transmissions from time to time. You want individual parts or you want to have the fun of mining them out of a Audi motor with carbon issues?

Looking for individual core components the kids can hold and fiddle with. Anything you can grab I happy to roll down and grab. I think the sight of a modern Audi engine and they might never come back!

Thank you!

Way cool project

I generate pretty good stream of small parts, just dropped of a batch of bearings, hubs, rotors, control arms, starters ... if any of that kind thing is interesting let me know

I've got an intake cam from a BMW M50 motor. Don't ask me why I have this...
