hey everyone. so on most of my other threads i’ve posted were about all of my misfire problems on my 2004 Acura TL, it was misfiring on all cylinders and we found out it had 3 bent valves so i called a bunch of shops and they were trying to charge me $3500-$4500 to replace bent valves, resurface the head and redo gaskets. i said fck that and called up my neighbor who’s our neighbor hood mechanic and asked how much for an engine swap. we found an engine with 55k miles on it out of another 2004 and it was only $1300 and to put install it he only wanted another $1000 so total of $2300 for complete swap with 55k miles. engine comes in tomorrow. i’ll keep you all posted and put up some pics soon. THE REAL QUESTION I WANT TO ASK is i was replacing a coil pack a while ago and broke the plastic clip that connects to the coil-packs from the wiring harness. right now it’s staying on my duct tape where do i get just the clip from i’ve searched threads and googled but everywhere just has the ones you have to cut the wires and splice then together. i just need the black clip. HELP!

 

Try a junkyard

 

While buying the replacement motor might be cheaper, I would think buying remanufactured heads and slapping them on would cost well under your $2,300 estimate for the engine swap. That said, there is certainly something to be said for dropping in a motor which is barely broken in with only 55,000 miles on it.
