If you blow your engine it's not worth the effort to rebuild because you can just buy a low mileage one for half the price.

No one's saying it won't be reliable, or at least I'm not, it's just nowhere near being cost efficient

Can't tell you exactly why. But I was talking to Mike from Milzy and he told me that they usually don't hold up like they do when they are original. Like I said, he didn't say exactly why. One thing to remember is that I was told this by someone who sells engines. Why tell someone to rebuild, when you might be able to sell an engine to them?
