Yeah, I thought it was something like that. Been a while since I researched it. HX does sound better.

Cheapest price on car-part.com is $250 from Brooklyn. Shipping is prob $150-200.
eBay is $450-800.
Locally my salvage yards don't have any.
craigslist has a VTEC for $600.
[THINKING OUT LOUD] Is it possible to
properly repair a damaged block? Either casting new material and welding onto the hole, or repairing the hole in some other way? I'll have to replace the broken rod and maybe piston, and check and make sure there's not other internal damage, but if the hole is fixed, shouldn't the engine be OK? Or are there stresses that will flex and break the block even if repaired?[/THINKING OUT LOUD]
Just trying to avoid spending extra $$$ if I don't have to.
