Default jdm versus usdm for 89 civic dx

my 89 civic uses just as much oil as gas... this is not good. Rebuild cost more than used jdm motor.... I have never purchased a jdm motor and looking for replacement for a 1989 civic dx 4door d15b2. ... Who has best deals? .... I just want to do same swap to get the car back on the road.... Question is? .... would the replacement parts for the be the same such as timing belt, gaskets and seals? Thanks Grandpa

hmotorsonline.... get a sohc zc theyre like 395. you can convert your car to mpfi and it will be faster. or just take your intake manifold off your old motor... it will bolt right in.
