Can the original engine be rebuilt ? Would be close to costing the same as a engine swap.

i would rather get a different engine because the problem with this one is that when the engine heats up the aluminum block expands and wen it cools is shrinks back down to size and the gaskets cant handle all of that....so i think even if i get it rebuilt it will still leak eventually
