Most reputable shops would not perform work such as timing chains on a 200,000 mile engine with all kinds of floating debris in the oil. There is no kind of guarantee how long it would last before something else failed and they have a name to protect. It’s just smart business.

Personally if I were on a budget, I would prefer to have a lower mile clean engine installed over a rebuild. I’ve seen way too many rebuilds fail. Same goes for the trans.

It wouldn’t be good for rebuild to fail obviously. From your experience how many miles can you get out of a rebuilt engine versus dropping in a lower mileage engine assuming that engine is in good shape and has low miles they say it does. The only way to see how much damage possibly been caused to my engine from the chain rubbing up against metal where you get the aluminum from obviously is probably be dropping the oil pan in checking the front cover for more metal debris and see if there’s damage there too.
