engine hit 200k, rebuild or replace?
I just hit 200,000 miles today, I'm going to run my engine till it dies but should I be focusing on buying a new engine or rebuilding the one i already have? the rebuild would consist of "moving parts" as of right now. I really haven't done much research on the topic but does anyone have any input as to whats worked for them? or what they wish they would have done differently? anything I should definitely stay away from? thanks

Nissan quotes something like 8k for a long block, I'm trying to stay under 2.5k if possible. I dont like the idea of buying someones used engine bc idc if they ahve taken care of it like i would...

not performace, I figure it would be cheaper to buy new pistons, lifters, piston rings, and anything else I would need. I got 200k out of this one, I think I can do it again
