Andrew, you got 140K miles off your first engine..that seems pretty reliable to me. 22K on a rebuild means the rebuild is bad, not that the WBX is unreliable. Presuming you maintained it properly, it was a faulty rebuild. Unless you want to enter the conversion hassels, buy a reputable rebuild and put the rest of the $5K in the bank. Tom F. |
