Pull the engine take it apart then you'll be in a better position
to decide to rebuild or by a rebuilt one. Doing it yourself if the crank
needs work you are looking at about $900. This will get you a
remanufactured not rebuilt engine. Without any experience you can do the
whole job in less than a week. The hold up will be with the parts and any
machine shop work. The head is not included in this price. The head will
set you back $300 or so.
