Help me understand rebuild vs crate?
Hard choice.
I'm a builder, but does everything I do need to be custom/1 off...? Maybe, maybe not.
Could change the cam, could work the heads... that "planned around the advertised compression" would change the power and it's rpm profile.
I like building and modifying, it's a pride and learning thing for me. I never really want what others have, nor want to spend the amount some have...yikes...
Nothing wrong with "any" reman'd motor as long as it was done right.
