Is it usually worth rebuilding or replacing?
A. For the time and work involved it is very often more cost effective to replace the engine with a remanufactured engine. The workmanship is of a higher quality because remanufacturers are setup to do the work. They can get parts as clean as they were when new and they have all the equipment to do the honing, grinding and polishing. In addition most remanufacturers give you a three year/36,000 mile warranty with it. If I did it in my shop, the best warranty I can give is one year/12,000 miles.
