Wouldnt it be a bitch to do a "half rebuild" and get it installed only to find out that you now have a coolant seal leak and have to pull it all back out and apart?
those were my thought exactly, but I'm broke. I just spent 10 grand on this car, I put it all together and it doesnt run. I'm looking for the fastest and cheapest way out...it only has to last me the summer, than it's gettin a full rebuild.

I guess another way of lookng at it is that the cost of a half rebuild vs that of a full rebuild is probably <$500. IS it worth it to you to take that chance over a couple weeks' salary?
