I believe the words you were looking for were 'with' and 'the'.

What's wrong with the motor?

High miles is not a reason to mess with the motor if it is running fine.

If it is having issues, whether you rebuild or replace comes down to how serious the problems are and what parts they affect, etc.

If you are not happy with the engine, doing a swap would be the less expensive route to go. That is in my opinion. The h22 is a very easy and straight forward swap to do.

If it was me, I would drive the car the way it is until something happens such as you blow a head gasket, throw a rod, it starts knocking, leaking oil badly, smokes like a train....

Its totally up to you sir.

My car had a cracked sleeve, so I swapped in the f20b.
