 ^^^ Is a rebuild normal on this car at such low mileage ? Even a Chevy Vega would last a little longer than that back in the day. ;D

One of those deep pockets I guess,similar to Land Rover thread.

Lots of times these guys just do a "while the engine is out, you might as well do X" type of thing.

Full engine disassembly and replacing all seals and gaskets and inspecting and replacing mechanical components as needed.

The engine was completely seized, so no, it wasn't a "while you're in there" kind of thing.

I figure you have business insurance on your cars or else from what I heard a RHD car is not exactly a piece of cake to insure in ON...

Yes sir, I have a blanket policy for vehicles between all my businesses. Simplifies things and they insure my own junk no questions asked. Had to make one claim for a car being written off last summer and it was extremely seamless, mind you it was a Q5 and not any sort of collectible.
