So, I am considering a rebuilt motor from Adsit Co. I am including the description of their rebuild process as provided to me by Adsit Co, and Metric Motors. The cost differential between these two companies is significant.

The motor would go in a 1982 MB 240D four speed.

Metric Motors:$5300 + 500 core + shipping + tax (I live in CA) Est $6200???
