... and you might be able to find a better engine, e.g. if your engine has done 120K already and you manage to pick up a used one with only 60K on it ?

If your existing engine has done pretty low mileage though, it might not make sense.

yeah agree with stevie. mine had done 133k so replaced it with a 60k engine so made sense for me.
