[QUOTE="arkie1, post: 1356024, member: 25283"] BF IMO you'd be better off to install a crate motor. If he ran the thing completely out of oil it's likely the bottom end is wiped out and your oil pump is gone. It is possible the cam and bearings are shot too. Front gear train. Wrist pins could be seizing to the piston bodies. Rocker arms might be gone... we could go on and on. If it was mine and I was the one tearing it apart to see what damage I had then I'd do that and consider a rebuild but since you have it at a shop he's going to charge you to take it apart and look at it. Better to buy a crate engine I'd think rather than have the mechanic tear the old one apart only to find it's too far gone. Besides that I've found there's about 10,000 different definitions of "rebuilt". I've found none yet that meet my standards other than mine. [/QUOTE]
