Whether you want it to or not
I think we need to differentiate between “the engine is worn out and needs rebuilding” and “I quite fancy rebuilding my engine now”. I’ve come across loads of engines where the owner was convinced they needed rebuilding but in truth they had a lot of useful life left. Nothing wrong with that. Working with engines is therapeutic- especially if someone else is paying for it.
