you're saying that its better to just gamble on a used engine vs having the one you own rebuilt? is that just in this case or in all cases?i have an engine with 200k miles on it and i was trying to figure out which route would be better. the engine seems to run great right now and i was wondering if it would be better to strip it to the block and rebuild it or to buy a used one from japan. i am thinkin the rebuild would cost more but would it be worth it?
