I want to price out a few rebuild options before I start looking for a used engine.

Sebastian at Janko wants no part of this if he can help it. :D

Call Al at Japan direct 919-781-7314. Used is probably going to be your best bet!

Yup, I agree with Jeremy. A bolt in engine is going to be far easier and cheaper than a rebuild.

^^^agree^^^

I purchased an engine from Japan direct as well for an old Paseo. The one issue I had was I couldn't rotate the engine via the crank, so I took it back. Found out it was "carbon locked". These guys persuaded the engine to turn over and then blast air into to force all the little carbon bits out of it. Got it installed and as far as I know it's still running fine.
