The satisfaction you get from a rebuilt engine varies greatly depending on
the engine and quality of rebuild job.  Something like a Volvo would be as
good as new if you are willing to spend the money.  Some of the newer econo-
motors just don't have room to work from, or tend to fail in ways that aren't
worth rebuilding (Vega?).

In your case, however, I would advise against considering a rebuild until
you get the top end reworked.  The chances are that this will solve your
problems for another 30-50K miles.  If not, the cost is still reasonable
compared to a quality rebuild.
