So,
I have been a lurker here for many months gathering lots of information on my 95 legend. Long story short...I bought the legend and it turned out to have a BHG. I took the car to my acura dealer and had it diagnosed, The mechanic said he didnt get any signs of a BHG from the exhaust test....But when he did the compression test on the motor....It was a BHG.
This was in november, I now have an extremely bad oil leak coming from god knows where? The car still runs good besides misfiring bad everytime it rains and im considering buying a 99' Accord manual trans and selling the legend for someone else to deal with.
But, Spending 4grand out of my checking account on the accord hurts my brain so im now entertaining the thought of rebuilding the legend motor. (Paying someone else to do it) The Acura dealer wanted 3500 just to do the head gasket...Which is obviously outrageous.
So Im looking for peoples thoughts on this situation,
How much would it cost to rebuild the engine good enough to get another 100,000 miles out of it?
Is it even worth rebuilding with all the cooling system problems with these cars? I have seen rebuilds on here that went bad;(
Keep in mind, I have a family and need a reliable vehicle for my wife and children.
I have already put the legend on craigslist, But now im reconsidering.
