Rebuilt engines

No. Only cars that have been abused need engine rebuilds. Buy a clean one with original engine.

it wouldn't bother me, provided the shop is reputable. unfortunately most are shit.

I feel like this is one of the few unmolested Integras left. It looks so damn clean, too.

Really? I would think pretty much all engines need a rebuild eventually. This rebuild was done around 200k miles, which seems reasonable for a car of this age. Plus, isn't a full rebuild nearly as good as a new engine, or am I fooling myself?

You don't know what "rebuild" means in this case. It could be new head gasket or timing belt/water pump or it could be a bottom end rebuild. I wouldn't trust a random mechanic to rebuild an engine. It'd have to be a specialty shop. A reman engine is better and has a warranty.

I wouldn't put timing belt/water pump in the same category as the others, but I see your point and appreciate the input.

This is the rebuilt engine, which the seller says has done ~130k miles since the rebuild. That's a good sign, right?

Well, I just learned the rebuild was only head gasket and piston rings. The car has done 193k + 137k after the rebuild = 330k miles total. Damn, that's a lot. Definitely starting to think twice.

unless they remachined stuff back to factory tolerance it's not really a rebuild. yep, 330k is a lot

you can buy a used b18 with under 200k for $400
