Katharine, I have been following the saga , and being an engine rebuilder ,I rebuild mostly tractor and industrial engines along with some truck engines,I would rebuild it. Typically those that want to send you out to get a new engine have deeper pockets than most and don't want to be bothered with the work involved. My neighbor has a 5000 that I rebuilt for him in 77 and it is just about ready for another rebuild ,but has seen much hard work in between .When I did it then I bored it .020 over , don't know how bad it is now ,whether to go .040 over or put in the flanged repair sleeves that put it back to standard.I'll find out when it shows up . Send me an email and I'll do what I can to help as it's a little far to send it . george
