last year my rod bearings cracked, and I had to replace the motor. I have a 95 integra LS. I bought a "used" engine from one of those websites for $850, Imported from japan. I installed the motor in my garage in about 15 hours and have not had one problem a year later. Of course my brother is a Honda mechanic....so its up to you whether or not you know what you are doing....never guess, or assume. Swift death will Follow!!
