Unless you plan on doing the job yourself, you'll be better off doing a JDM Type II swap. Probably cheaper in the long run and there are some on here (myself included) that will tell you that BHG is a terminal illness for our engines in that it is never really completely fixed.

Sorry that this happened to you so soon but I had the same thing happen to my son's '91 Coupe and the JDM swap was the answer. Welcome to the Forum!

Thanks, Mo! *gives dap*

If your master mechanic friend doesn't think it's "too hard", he probably hasn't done one. He's gonna wish he'd have charged you $1K by the time he's through 'cause there's almost no room to work in the engine bay. It's almost easier to drop the rack & cradle, pull everything off the top side of the engine and drop the engine out the bottom using a lift. Good luck---
