Just so you know, the rebuilt engine wont have balance shafts ( aka silent shafts). Mass re-builders typically get rid of them to save on costs.

Some don't notice, others do. I have driven both and prefer to keep them.

Do some background on the re builder and their rep. Find out who covers installation costs if the rebuild goes bad.
