I was hoping I could get some opinions on purchasing a rebuilt long block to replace my current engine.

I am still looking into rebuilding it myself, I am going to run to the machine shop a little latter today to see if they could give me an opinion on the engine and maybe an estimate of the work.

I have been looking into a re-manufactured engine a little more now.

There is a service out there called powerpro that offers a reman long block for 1939 dollars. The core charge is dirt cheap in case I want to keep my block.

Here was the list of parts they replaced on the engine: pistons and rings, new lifters, new valve springs, all new bearings, all new seals, new timing parts, new oil pump, new rocker arms.

The engines are bored since the engine gets new pistons. They start the engines to test oil pressure and compression.

The warranty is 5 years and 100,000 thousand miles. Parts are 100% covered by the warranty and they cover labor on repairs at 65 dollars an hour.

Free-shipping and no tax.

It almost seems like a better idea than rebuilding it again considering how my last engine turned out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
