Message	rebuild the motor you've got? As long as you don't have a major compression problem, I'd bet that the cylinder walls are still pretty clean and free of major scoring. Yes, you have a motor with 152K on it, but it might be even money just to pull your motor and rebuild it. Just some food for thought.
