Lucky, here in Cali these cars are highly stolen then parted out or taken to Mexico. I've been pulled over 4 times for just having an accord and a shaved head lol.

Yup yup, I have a buddy who's neighbor is a cop (works in Paramount) He was telling me about getting pulled over just to check the vins on accords..

With your car being automatic why not swap it to the F20B automatic motor? It outputs 180hp which is better than your stock motor and you save money with keeping your stock tranny.

F20bs can come with 180hp or 200. The automatic has less, I wouldnt risk it because you dont know what your buying.

In all honestly lol....your mechanic is a douche bag. I bet he didnt torque the head down right so the oil is leaking into the coolant. I would make sure your issue is a cracked block, because I seriously doubt its cracked.

car-part.com like blkcurrant stated above. THat's just one site too, if you fill out the form on other used car part sites you get a ton of e-mails about parts available.....

Trust me, the motors will be in good condition, went through a lot of junkyards in my build process, and had no bad parts whatsoever.

The manual F20B engine produce 200hp while the automatic produce 180. The automatic is comparable to the GSR and 2010 Civic Si.
