Engine options for a CRX

The Used Oil Analysis for my CRX came back with bad news. Some lead, like last time, but more of it. Plus copper, which is probably from the backing of the bearings. Which means I need to fix or replace the engine relatively soon.

Since it's a 1990 CRX, I have about a zillion options for what I can do. Some swaps (like those from a car earlier than 1990) are out, but that still leaves most of the D- and B-series engines as swap candidates. Or, of course, I could try to rebuild the stock engine myself.

Simpler swaps are better in general than complex ones, but there are certainly interesting possibilities that are complex.

So, what would you do if it was you?
