Used 5vz engines are about $500 around me, about 4~5 times Cheaper than rebuilding and they are VERY robust engines. So rebuilding isn't really Ever a viable option.
But rebuild/replace when there's an Obvious deficiency within the engine... burned hole in piston, broken rings, spun main bearing type issues. Otherwise pull and replace is a Whole lot faster and cheaper. Might invest some time in the replacement engine to make sure it's all "fresh" before putting it in place... maybe.
