My number 5 valve is missfiring, it failed a compression test it tested at 100 psi they said it's probably a bad oil ring or something. It has 226k on it would it be worth it to tear this engine apart and rebuild it? I really want to fix this car up possibly to pass down to a younger sibling. I just found out one of my friends has a guy that will rebuild my engine cheap, how much would a cheap engine rebuild cost me?
Junk yard engines in So Cal go for $400. You could go to LKQ auto parts on the net, they own a lot of the junk yards out here now. They should have one or several with varying mileage and I think they have some kind of a guarantee.
