Once it starts to chuff, there's really no quick fix. You could simply overhaul it, hone cylinders and put in a new set of rings but that leaves all the other stuff undone. Within a year or so, you'll be digging into it again for valve guides or seals, bearings, rear main seal, timing chain, etc. The best choice is to replace it with a new crate engine, then next best to rebuild it, next best to overhaul it, and finally to sell it. Most folks find that rebuilding is the most cost effective alternative provided the engine core is solid for rebuilding. <= has not been rebuilt several previous times and is not at rebuild specification limits. if you find yourself at this point buy a new block or crate engine.
