Also a new long block should have some type of warranty if it has an issue.If you have confidence that the will stand behind their work, then go for it. But if there is even the slightest concern, I'd look seriously at either a new longblock as others suggested, or at least a new crank. Dont really want that looming in the back of your head everytime you operate the tractor, wondering if the rebuild is gonna hold together for the long haul.
Will this rebuild after you dump a lot of $$ into it ? There are a lot of other moving parts in that engine that were starved for oil also that may show up later.
