Steve,

The reason I was asking about a rebuilt is because the cost of repair would be close to the price I got guoted for a rebuilt engine. The cost of repair was for new timing chain, tensioner rails, head gasket set, new valves and valve job, and any other minor parts associated with this repair. The mechanic told me it would be close to $4grand to fix. Is this an exhorbitant price to pay?
