Likely cheaper to go with a 2L long block and either P&P the head or sell=

and put the 1.8 onto it. My block cost me $600 CDN (that's $360 US at the=

current exchange rate) after the head was sold, and it had very low milea=

(about 50 000 miles) so was just nicely broken in. That's my spin on it. =

Rebuilding is expensive, and you're gonna spend enough on the head anyhow=

trust me on that one. =
