The good thing about a cont reman is that if the case is light, the crank isn't proven to be a VAR, it doesn't matter to them. They will take it in as a valid core.

With a good overhaul shop, if the case is light, you need to buy a heavy case. If you can't prove it's a VAR crank, you have to buy a new crank. In my situation, both of them, The cases were old, light, they had been overhauled at least once. We couldn't prove the VAR crank, so I went with a Reman.
