Why not rebuild the engine you have? I know that would mean down-time for your commuter, but if you have a back up car, that might be your best choice <the devil I know, versus the devil I don't know>.
From everything I've read, the little 3 cylinder is almost bullet-proof. If it were me, I'd have the cylinders honed to the next oversize, polish the crank or grind undersize as needed, rebuilt the rods (both ends), have the head rebuilt and cam checked out <if I could afford it, get an Xfi-like cam from 3tech Mike). Put it back together with all new bearings, a new oil pump, new pistons, rings, seals and clutch assy.
