I've thought about a rebuilt PRV, but I have serious concerns about
the quality of work, seeing as how the PRV isn't a conventional
engine. I worry that my cash may just be thrown out the window, if
they screw it up. And my concerns are really rebuffed on this, after
I can't find anyone online who sells rebuilt PRV engines.
At this point, I'd rather do either a swap, or piecemeal one together.
