blown engine... rebuild or replace?
Jeff Olsen 9 February 2005 12:53:23
	My wife had to keep driving after the head gasket let go. The engine is toast. Any thought on whether it better to rebuild my engine, or buy a rebuilt engine, or even buy a used junkyard engine? -jeff

	Here is an option. I have been looking into ordering a rebuilt engine from http://www.rebuilt-jeep-engines.com/, I have heard good things from them, they rebuild them with name brand parts. I think that the cost of rebuilding one yourself or buying from them would be close. Also do some research for stroker engines, now maybe a good change to upgrade.
