After 3 weeks and 7 attempts, I was finally able to ask about the engine in the 2002 Civic.
He said it had a blown head gasket, but he wouldn't be able to tell if the engine is damaged without removing the head.
The best-case scenario would be that I have a strong engine with a quarter million miles that needs the head gasket and timing belt replaced.
I could do it myself, but I already need to fix 4 cars, a greenhouse, a shed, and plenty of other things. The cheapest JDM engine I could find was $1,000, and $1,380 with a transmission.
If I am paying to replace an engine with 250,000 miles I feel that I should swap the transmission, too.
However, I found a $1,200 low-mileage engine and transmission for my Accord.
The Civic is newer and looks significantly better.
It also needs a new radiator and I just hope Crazy J can back-flush the heater core.
My phone kept changing "flush" to "door."
How does that make any sense?!
