I think a rebuilt powerhead would be a good choice as long as you have a LOT of confidence in the shop that built it and the automatic oiling system has been either disconnected or THOROUGHLY checked out, rebuilt, cleaned and tested...particularly that little nylon gear that has a history of failure in those motors...it'd be a shame to pay for a newly rebuilt powerhead only to have the auto-oiler blow it for ya...clean out the oil tank and the pick-up tube, too...
