So should I sell the Legend, or repair it? I can get a motor for $350 (pulled) But is it really worth the hassle? Would it be cheaper to replace the motor, or try to repair the BHG? Either way, the motor will probably have to get pulled, right? I am sooooooooooo FRUSTRATED!

You dont have to pull the motor to replace the HG, but if you can get another motor for that cheap with some kind of guarantee about its health, AND if you can do the swap yourself, I'd say go for it....otherwise your looking at saying goodbye to some bills :sadwavey:

Wouldn't the motor have to be pulled if the heads had warped? Which would mean the block would probably have to be machined if the head was warped, right? To machine the block, don't ya have to pull it? I mean, it isn't spewing water out the exhaust or anything... But there's a little oil in the radiator, and bubbles on the dip...

Hopefully nothing has warped but if something does warp it is normally the heads and that is what you would want refinished. Which means that you don't have to pull the engine.

replace that sucker with another jdm..but i do hope the labor is coming from you

Rarely does the block warp. I am guess too much metal behind it.
Just take the heads off and have them machined.

^ Yup...

yeah i STRONGLY doubt you could warp the BLOCK unless you were trying to lol but if you can do the Gasket then i say do that why put a dirty old engine in when you dont know how long till it will blow a gasket. Also HAve you determeined what caused this issue?

 

[1992IAMLEGEND]

Idle problems is what i's been having, so I really don't know what caused the issue. We don't race it. I do smell a strong odor of gas every now and again... Anyhow, a quick fix, and I will sell it for $1000. I have another option for buying one year newer Legend... Thanx for all the advice tho... This site is very helpful. Thank you all.
