Re: simple question

to have a shop pull the engine and rebuild and replace... a lot.. it is easy enough that you could do it your self though for much cheaper

Re: simple question

Most shops will put a rebuilt motor in.It's a little more difficult to get one to rebuild your motor.Most places turn yours in for a core.
