I got the gsx for 500 dallars of this kid that was trying to mod it. before i bought it he replaced the head gasket and he broke two of the fuel rail bolts the hanger bearing bolts, the bolts for the support braket for the intake manifold. i have 3 valve steam seal leaking, a bad trow out bearing. and god knows what else is wrong. what is the cheapest route? send it out to get fixed buy a local DSM shop or buy a engine and do the swap myself?

-I'll be it it's not the best solution but it's probably a lot easier then removing the block to drill, tap, and heli-coil the old half-axle mounting bolt holes.
has any one done this before?

any one with dsm's should have these... they are in a 3 piece set at sears
my buddy has the snapon set, but its too much work to fix i rather send it out.
