Hi
just need a bit of advice

what does an engine rebuild achieve, how much would i be spending and would buying a reconditioned engine be a cheaper alternative. as when i can afford to i want to get a GOlf MK3 GTI and i was wondering whether having the engine rebuild would be worth it as i would like it to run for as long and as smooth as possible for a car of that age.

thanks
