We installed a remanufactured 2.1 liter from Fast German Automotive in
California (main bearing went bad in the original engine):

So far (1,000+ miles) we're very pleased with the engine, which came with a
12 month/12,000 mile warranty.  Wasn't cheap, $1699 (don't have my core
deposit back yet, so can't report the net price) for the motor, plus another
$49 each for Z sticks, but I didn't want to do this twice, and rebuilding
from my block was not an option I wanted to consider.   Anyway, the engine
is very strong, as it should be, and I'm quite happy, despite the unexpected
hit to the pocket book.
