i know you don't have an opinion on how easy it is but if it was you and you had what you needed to do the swap. Would you save up teh cash needed to swap the engine, tranny, and ecu. Or just put a new belt on and fix all the seals. The swap will be pricier i know that much but its so hard to me to fix all of this on an engine i have no idea how much longe it has to go.

 

If it was my car I'd probably try the swap to get a hotter engine. But it would be tough to convince my wife it's worthwhile...

 

One of the biggest problems in replacing the honda timing belt (mine is a 96 Accord) is getting the pulley loose. Someone said a 1/2 in impact wrench. Would not work on mine. Had to use a 3/4 in impact with a 3/8 (not 1/4") hose. Also really mean to get to the 14MM bolt that holds the cover. It is usually really tight for some reason. Other than that - not too bad a job. I've done a 90 model with 230,000 mi and the 96 with 96,000 mi. Belts looked like new in both cases. Sure feels good to have them replaced though.
