That’s great advice, thanks. Parts for the rebuild do creep up rather quickly that’s if it doesn’t need anything major. Cost to rebuild the engine on your own can easily surpass value of car, with a used engine you don’t know what you’re getting and who knows how long it will last where a rebuild engine you know what’s been don’t to it and should last a few years.
I bought a whole parts car and will do a complete transplant then pull the old engine apart and see the extend of the damage.
At the end of the day it’s an engine held together by nuts and bolts meant to be serviced.
I bought both the Bentley and Pelican manuals but they don’t have a lot of info on engine rebuild, YouTube and this forum are my best friend.
