I very much like to be able to reuse them if possible. But I
am considering the worse case. I do believe mine is worn out.
I will tear apart my engine soon to prove that.

The used ones is a possibility but the wreck yard here tends
to ask for a high price tag. A 2.1 90k miles engine they asked
for $1600. Mine is only 80k miles. Because of the engine problem
it has been idle mostly in storage. I know it's a waste. It's a
beautiful westy. Imagine that the propane tank was filled only
once and still has some in there.

Thanks for replying.
