R33 Series 1 Engine, Swap Or Rebuild?

[buzz350]

Hey everyone, I have owned my r33 s1 for the best part of over a year now, and have sadly now blown a headgaskit.

Now I know your thinking, just replace the head gaskit and be done with it, but the lifters have also been extremely noisy aswell the last 3-6 months.

So im just wondering, would it be cheaper to swap the engine with a series 1 or 2 neo engine (if compatible?) Or go and rebuild the top half of the engine taking into concideration the engine has gone 235,XXX kms before letting go.

Mods are, splitfires 3 inch exhaust and fmic. So all basic stuff.

I would love some help/people to give me their experience on this matter as being an apprentice with minimal cash to play around with, I would like the cheapest way possible to get my car back up and running again while still being reliable.

Thanks everyone,

Aaron.
