i'm about to pull the trigger and having some second thoughts about the rebuild hearing some of the concerns.
A proper clean out is essential, preferably using and ultra sonic system. I would pull your current engine and look it over before making any decision. And who you select to do your engine is critical, a lot of shops claim they can, but that is not always the case.
