Seeing as how my engine is at about 170k miles now and i think he valve stems are going bad im looking into getting a new engine. All the quotes on th valve seals were about 1.2k, and id rather just put that towards a new engine.
If i had a place and time to do the swap i would go with a 3s for sure, but i gotta have a car to drive cause my celi is my only car. I was wanting to know the price of labor at a shop doing either a direct 5s to 5s swap, or how much it would be for the 3s. I would eventually turbo the 5s,i just know its a lost cause on the one i have now. thanks for any info  I just got a new job, so i can finally afford nice stuff

valve stems or valve seals? valve stems you need new valves, and the head will have to come off. valve seals you can do yourself with the head on. using Toyo Tool. alot cheaper than 1.2k i bet like 1k off that price tag.
