Why wait for your engine to blow? Sell it while it still works to help you recoup costs

Not enough to recoup there to pay for it and I have kids in college, kitchen remodel, trying to line up retirement in a few years blah, blah, blah...

Understood, so in the same line of thinking, blowing the engine will not be an enough excuse to do a swap (since it will cost even more).
