Default 95 Dx Coupe Problems & Questions

My rpms dropped under 1 in idle and seems to be hanging over the 0 just a bit and while in gear I can't get over 3k rpm. My Cel is on and also I removed the cover for my headers and notice that smoke is coming from my dipstick or somewhere else on top of that i have oil in my plugs that I previously removed but now is back I changed the valve cover gasket so it isn't that I was told its my rocker arm seal but I'm not sure. I was planning on doing a mini me swap but found a local shop that'll swap out my d15b7 for a jdm d15b for 1170 with labour included plus I get to keep my b7 I wanted to know if thats a good price if not I'll just keep searching or get a friend to help me do a mini me swap. Sorry I'm all over the place

Rocker arm seal?
Pull the CEL code/s.

41. Primary O2 heater. Unrelated. Check your oil level, and do a compression test.

Thanks. Now I need to get or borrow a compression tester. But is 1170 including installation for a jdm d15b a good price and I get to keep my engine & tranny? Or is that too much?
