what kind of motor mate?
alot easier and cheaper to just swap in a new motor, but a rebuild would be much better

As above.
To rebuild it will cost damn near half the value of the car.
Not worth it.

lol, at that point I would be just driving it until its dead, patching it up along the way... then buying something newer entirely. If it was a B4 with that kinda K's, I would be finding the nearest paddock to rip up until something pops. Then STi convert 
Some guys up the road from me have lifted their Gen3 RX Sedan, it looks hilarious but they seem to use it as a paddock basher now. It went from lowered with decent wheels and zorst, to insanely high paddock basher within a couple weeks.

Jesus, don't replace the whole engine every time a sensor goes!
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.
