If you do go for a rebuilt WBX, and want a trouble-free future, you should
also replace the whole wiring harness, all coolant hoses, all fuel lines, and
anything else in the engine bay.  Those items are the usual culprits in roadside
escapades.  If you have a bad ground, your brand-new engine will still run
like crap!
