Have you checked those places in the Little Nickel that sell low mileage
engines from Japan?

In Japan you have to swap out your engine at 30,000 miles, Why?,
because they are insane.

These engines are then resold in the US as replacement engines for
about $600 - $800, however 20R and 22R engines made for use in Japan
are illegal in the US so you have to deal with a rebuilt US engine.
