And just what specifically gets updated and done for the ~$4k? I ask because a total rebuild by a well known rebuilder runs 5+ times that. So thinking that all the issues will be solved for $4k seems too good to be true to me. I can see a healthy $1k just for the removal and re-installation of the engine/trans. That only leaves $3k for the cleanup of the engine that has all the shavings that were ending up in the oil filter you saw plus new parts. AOS, water pump, tensioners, IMS, RMS, pads, plugs and coils. But then what do the mains look like, the rod bearings, the cylinders.

I've read a lot of postings about engines that had the half done rebuilds that failed soon after.
