There was a recent post stating that a rebuild for a 2 L bus engine should run around $750 - $1200. I've seen rebuilt (remanufactured) 2 L engines for somewhere around $1300. It so happens that I have a '77 westy with a 2 L that needs rebuilding. I plan on just pulling it apart and hopping it just has a stuck valve or it needs new rings, but if a whole rebuild is needed, wouldn't it be better to spend a little more and get a professionally rebuilt engine? The one I will will be rebuilding has over 200,000 miles on it and I'm not sure about how most of them were traveled. I also would rather not get into rebuilding the lower end. Does anyone have any experiance with rebuilt engines from a catalog? What do you get with them and how do they hold up? Any thoughts? Brett P.S. How easily would this 2 L with fuel injection go into a '73 bus. The body on my '77 won't last forever and a engineless, rustless '73 may be in my future.
