A good proper overhaul is always better than a kabli.
Kabli ki halat apko nae pata. On a rebuild, a proper one atleast ... that is going by the book/manual you KNOW what you are going to get.
I rebuild my GTti engine. It had a slight rattle from one big end bearing. The rebuilt engine bottom end only performed way way better, both on power and economy. Lasted as long as I had it easy ... agay jakar dusron nay kia kara ho pata nae. Heard it got busted ... and im damn sure its because of overheating + bad oil. Turbo cars need a bit of extra care.
