Is it worth it to rebuild a shortblock 2.0 that I ran w/out oil? (had the
oil changed @ JiffyLube 500miles after replacing the head gasket, the dude
over-tightened the oil filter and crushed the gasket between the oil cooler
and block. It let go after 20 min on the highway in pouring rain, oil
pressure LED was out, hadn't installed the gauges yet so I pulled over when
it started knocking) Anyway, I miss the extra torque (I have a 1.8 now) and
it's sitting in my garage. I could use the 1.8 head and just rebuild the
bottom. Good idea? Business is slow so, lot's of time/ not lots of $$$
Thanks
Steve
