I would also factor in the cost of the various tools/equipment needed for the rebuild.

But for the hard parts thats a different story.........3k for a crank?.............

I guess the question is when is it worth rebuilding versus replacing.......

In my opinion if you are rebuilding your motor because it is worned out i.e. low compression, oil blow-by, low oil pressue and the motor is still running, then yes I would rebuild my motor.

Now, if you wait till it blows up damaging internals, you probably better off replacing the motor with a remanufacture or new one.
