Would be cheaper to get a low milage second hand engine from a scrapped car.

Headgasket? They're chronic. Problem with owning a car with no current manufacturer... Nobody to produce spare parts.

However having your current one rebuilt would mean you know it has actually been reconditioned and that you a paying for it. You might get people saying they are supplying a recon engine when infact its an engine which has just been steam washed
