Default New Engine

I wanted to know if it is better to place a rebuilt engine in my 96 accord lx, or would it be better to swap it with a used one with low miles?? I have been told that rebuilt engines may cause issues.....

also, should I swap the tranny as well??

It would depend on who the engine builder is, personally I'd swap the motor for a used one. It's a crap shoot either way, do you feel lucky?

you can go iether way. But the money you can put into a rebuild you can use for a h22/h23/f20 swap and gain much more power over your f22..thats the way i would go
