Cylinders bored, new pistons, rings, etc., etc., etc. Bought the blown motor for $300 and had another $5-600 in the rebuild. Figure $1,000.00 total spent on the motor and it could sell today (3 years after the rebuild) for $2,000.00+Figure on what you paid for the motor plus the $800+ to rebuild it yourself (if you can) that WMK suggested, which I think is a good ballpark figure. Then figure on the total spent on the motor and compare it to what you see comparable engines selling for on Craigslist. Should get you a good idea of whether it's worth the time/money to rebuild.</blockquote>
