Crate. Rebuilds put you at the mercy and dedication to detail of the builder. If he/she has an off day, you get substandard rebuild. Crates are built to exacting quality standards of the OEM engines. In the end, I bet they will be within $1K of each other. Not enough money to me to make up for the potential hassle of a rebuild-gone-wrong. My buddy just paid to have the 4.2L in his Jeep CJ8 rebuilt and now is dealing with big oil consumption issue and the builder is telling him it's normal to burn 1QT per 500 miles in a new engine.
