Default $400 dismanlter OR AIms rebuild?

like the title says.. still trying to decide ...

I'm in for $200 in motor swap labor either way so option A is $600 getting a motor that tests 150 on all 4 and swapping it in, with a new timing belt kit (water pump too) + seals.

or Option B is an AIMS rebuild of the motor that's in my car now. I tried to ask for an estimate but of course they don't know cause who knows what's going on inside of there. last time tested it was 140,130,93,135. Also a few times I've torn off exhaust and the motor cooled down with only about 2" of pipe bolted to each head.

Does anyone with experience as a customer of a machine shop want to throw some guesses at me?

What is the Cheapest you've ever had your machine shop bill be?

I thin its only $100 to have them do a tear down and give me an estimate ... which i'm leaning towards...

boot ya if anyone has experience and knows their lowest out of door that would be great.
