just because i think that that's what you should do don't take my word for it. without actually inspecting the engine myself the best i can do is guess as to what could wrong. you should defiantly have one or two mechanics look it over to get a more informed opinion.

also when buying any used engine you run the risk of having to go through with this entire ordeal again. i would actually go through with the rebuild instead of an engine swap unless you rebuild that engine to begin with also. i don't care what a seller says you never know what you're really getting when it comes to engine swaps until it's too late.

anyways good luck with whatever you decide to do.

the kae's are rather unappreciated so you can get them fairly cheap and it's good to hear that you'll be doing just that.
