Subject:rebuild or GEX ?

Hi , I"m from vancouver BC and need to re-power my westy(1.9).  I droped the
motor yesterday and and started the search for options.  I've priced out
rebuilds from $2000 to $3000, full rebuilds, lower end new rings, higher end
new pistons and cylinders. Alternately I could buy a longblock from cal
imports for 2500, it is from GEX.
   I would appreciate some feedback from those who have gone either route
and your experience with GEX. Also any locals with good/bad thing to say
about the various shops in Van please contact me.

Thanks in advance Jim
PS.  To those of you from Colorado.  Great series, good luck in you're quest
for lord stanleys cup, we'll get you next year!
