I'm looking to buy a Teggy and I've found a 91 Acura Integra 5-speed for $1000 with the LS v-Tec swap. Sleeved cylinders with Wiseco 11.5:1 pistons. AEM Cold air intake and a 4-2-1 header and cat-back exhaust. Suspension wise it has dropzone adjustble coilovers. Also a B&M short shifter.
Apparently he had the head rebuilt and it has only about 400 miles on it and 10k on the motor.
The catch is that it has a blown head gasket.
What I would like to know is, is it worth it to buy this car and then get the head gasket replaced? Is it something an amature hobby mechanic can do at home, (with a Haynes )? If not, how much would it typically run in a shop to fix it?
If the cost to repair it, (either by me or the shop) is not ridiculously expensive then I think I may get the car.
