Hey Guys,
Sadly, over the weekend i somehow managed to kill my engine.
1997 Honda Civic EX Coupe 1.6L SOHC V-TEC
My mechanic (a trust-worthy one) tells me that i basically drove it to death, and that i need a new engine. Now, i basically have to starve and work 24/7 to get money for this, but ..........i would love to get my hands on a DOHC engine, cuz after all, this does seem to be the perfect time for an engine swap.

But based on your experiences, i want to know if this is going to cost significantly more than just finding another SOHC. And if it is just really worth it, whatever the cost difference may be.

So anything that you guys can tell me would be greatly appretiated.
if u know of any good places to find good engines or anything ?

Thanks,
Nick Stone
