Hi everyone, this is my first time posting. I need your help in deciding what course of action to take regarding my motor. My 1998 Eclipse Rs has almost 300,000 on the motor and is in need of a rebuild or replacement. The motor is burning oil, has many oil leaks and occasionally some blue smoke from the muffler. Please help me decide from options below or any other suggestions you can give will be helpful. Thanks
A = buy rebuilt short block($800) & rebuilt head($300)
B = buy ebay used motor
C = buy ebay rebuild kit($300-$400) and rebuild short block myself. I have no experience building motors but I believe in learning on the job.
