my 98 celica is racking up some decent kms on my speedo (over 230000 now) and i was thinking about what i should do for the near future, considering what would be the better for performance and money. i have a few questions that i am not sure about:

what is the difference between rebuilding and reconditioning?
which would be the more practical and cost effective of the 3 (replacing, rebuilding, reconditioning)?

in theory a rebuild is just pull apart and put back together. reco is replacing parts

if its NA, and doesnt have alot of mods, when it does die, just get a new 2nd hander. No point rebuilding the motor imo.

As said above mate, if its not broken theres no need yet. Toyota motors are well known for thier reliability and long life. If you treat it well it should make 300,000 easy.

230k is nothing, if you have serviced it regularly and not given it a particularly hard time you will get close to double that.
