Re: Rebuild engine vs. Replace?
I probably should stay out of this, but I have lived through an 84 Chevrolet Suburban with a 350 that had a piston break apart at about 90,000 miles (after many other problems), then the crankshaft of the replacement 350 broke at about 50,000 miles. This vehicle had, by far, more engine problems than any other car or truck that I have owned in my 50 years of driving, including my 1964 GMC 1500 pickup with a 305E. This might have been an 80's/90's situation because I married into a late 60's El Camino with a 350 that ran fine for years. All of these 350's used regular gas and were not driven unusually hard. In fact, I have probably put much more stress on the old 305E V6 while using my pickup as if it were a bigger truck.
