Metric will rebuild your engine if you have the time. When you purchase the reman from them, you'll need to ship them your old one anyway. I'm not sure if the dealer requires the core or not..........but, the savings in shipping costs are a consideration there.

That might be worth pricing, I wonder how long it takes metric to do an entire engine (probably several weeks once they get around to it). I think the dealer price includes shipping to the dealer (I assume they require a core). I'm not too worried about the time, but I want it done right.
