Rebuilding these straighties is a dying art, so anyone contemplating, needs to take note here what you could be in for. It will only get worse with time as the engine technology diverges... Not sure what will be the case with EV, aka "volts"wagons, predominating.
I'm not a prewaree, so not sure if sleeving is an option, but very common in rebuilds. Cast can be repaired but also a dying trade, few options. Deep pockets can still bleed/leak. Once it's scrapped it's no longer recoverable nor number matching.
