Cheaper and easier to rebuild a running engine than one that has had a failure with expensive/hard to find broken components and a billion bits of steel and aluminum run through every moving part in the oil.

Racing will do that to you!

Granted it was CrapCan racing -- but it was a Porsche (944)

We had no idea where we might be able to find used parts -- so we bought a second car to haul down to our first race! It cost us $10 more than the race car :-)
