Dont know what the status of my engine from my deadstick (been traveling and have to help run the Sebring contest). But running scenarios... Seems that a rebuild with my core and if most of the high dollar parts are in spec will be about 20-25k.
I am seeing engines built and for sale for 25ish. So if my crank is bad (+5k) or my cam is bad (+2) my engine being rebuilt could be 27-30k easily.
Seems to me that buying a crate engine off the shelf from someone that is already rebuilt and selling my core might be the move to make.
So if I pull the cylinder, filter, look in the pan and find metal... Yeah, anyone know shops I can call that might have crate motors in stock?
Or is my idea just off?
