Can't speak for everyone but I quizzed my local parts store, parts and machine work to rebuild one costs almost as much as a crate motor. Plus crate has a warranty if it fails in short order. Then there is no down time, just pull the old one and put in the new one.

In my case I don't have a vortec and by the time I did the roller cam and heads a crate starts to be become a bargain.
