Ok let me start by saying yes I've searched but I got nothing...

I drive a 95 accord lx and the car runs like ***. I already replaced the radiator but It still overheated a while ago and now barely accelerates and idles at 0 AND it slowly leaks oil. Now I'm guessing I need a new thermostat, new water pump, new head gasket the whole nine. The car acts like it wants o shut off when I'm moving slow the engine is the stock engine with 140,000 miles on it non-vtec.

Now my question is should I pay to get it fixed which is gonna be really expensive I know, or just go with the jdm f22b dohc engine?? I plan on turboing the engine too so yea input PLEASE cuz this is killin me.

The concern is with money...I figured if it costs more than 700 to get it fixed then i might as well do the swap but idk how much the swap costs exactly so if anyone knows that'll be great...thanks.

 

anyone??

it sounds like you aren't planning on doing the swap yourself... which will cost you lots more...

 

Well, if you were planning on doing the swap anyways, then screw getting that pos engine fixed. All that trouble for an engine that has 1/3 of its life gone... I would go get the swap. But just remember, make sure that your swap is legal wherever you reside.

 

You should always replace the thermostat w/ and OEM unit when replacing a radiator. I would try that asap. However, it sounds like you already ran it hot and warped the head.
