Hold on, the engine blew up and you want to add value to it due to the repair cost? Good luck

Insurance company will want to pay the lowest market value they can, prepare to fight if you need to claim.

All you did was replace worn out parts. Might get a few more quid. Do you get more for replace shocks,brakes on a car .............. no they wear out just like a motor

If you paid £4500 for it insurance will probably value it a £3000 at most and if it gets nicked will pay out £1500-£2000 if you're very, very lucky.
They wont take into account the engine rebuild.

but if you had the chance of buying one with a decent recon or original engine with 13600 miles on which would be the better choice

Original engine every time. Who says its a decent recon? The seller? Never trust the seller.
