Answer depends on a number of things.... are you happy with the performance of your current engine? What would be the cost to change the engine vs. overhauling/fixing it?

In my opinion if you are happy with the performance, why dont you just overhaul/fix it. My guess is that depending on what you have done (top overhaul or full rebuild) changing the engine may be the more expensive option.

I dont think you should be put off by high mileages. An overhaul etc. that is properly done (and with good care) your engine should enjoy a new lease of life and should last another few years after that..... barring any unforseen circumstances of course.

Another thing to bear in mind is that changing the engine may not necessarily buy peace of mind as the replacement engine itself is an unknown quantity. Overhauling your own engine in this case may be preferable.

However if the answer to the first question was NO..... then changing (to a bigger capacity) engine may be the only solution worth going for.
