What you guys are saying is very plausible and makes sense and it opens up another possibility. When the shop yanks the engine in order to paint the engine bay(which they would have to do whether to rebuild it or swap the engine, I could send it down to the engine machine shop and have them tear it apart and tell me what the condition of everything is and then I could decide whether to rebuild it or go with another engine. Just to tear it down to inspect it should not run me to much to start($250 according to the shop this morning), the costs won't start to climb until I decide to go thru the whole rebuild process.
Thanks guys.
