It all really depends what you want to do.

The A-1 best route would be to rebuild one of these engines. It's one of the easier engines to rebuild IMHO...But then again I'm used to dropping 30+ hours rebuilding 4.2 Litre Jaguar XK engines.

Call around and see how much junkyards A.) Want for a used engine and B.) How much extra a 6 month - 1 year warranty is. This way if something happens, you're covered...Just not in the labour department.

Pulling a 240 engine and replacing one is quite easy. All it takes is about 16 or so bolts, removing wires and so forth...It takes about 2-5 hours depending on your mechanical skill and with the right equipment.

I wouldn't suggest trying to fix the head. There's a good chance the head is warped now because it wasn't flat. Like I said, you're just better off swapping that engine with a good used engine.

If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail me at EricJMedeiros37@gmail.com . I've done over 30+ 200 series engine jobs.

Cheers,
-Eric
