    Replace with a low mile rebuild is pricey

    depends on how much time and money you have to invest. If you know how to rebuild an engine the i say go for it its not that much more to rebuild it than to replace it. You just need to weight out your options. Good luck glad to know you are stickin with the gp and not getting into something else.

    im going to have a shop rebuild it for me, i was thinking about getting another car but mine is in perfect shape body wise so im going to keep it. i found rebuilt engines online for around 1500 but i think thats to high. should i keep the series 2 or upgrade to the series 3

    1500 for a REBUILT engine is a good price just machining and gaskets and such is like 1000+
