the shop has told me if I do choose to replace the pistons, rings and rods for $2000 more, he is not going to warranty the parts, because from his knowledge and experience these Acura GSR engines burn oil, because of their high revving nature.

I live in San Francisco/ Bay Area and the mechanic that quoted me is an independent shop and the parts that are being used for this rebuilt head is Acura OEM. not quite sure of the engine specifics, since I’ve only had the car for couple months, but I believe it is a stock Acura Integra GSR engine only modification that I know of from purchase is an aftermarket adjustable coilovers and a muffler.
Its $2000 for a valve job, head gasket, oil pump and water pump as well as resurfacing the cylinder head. when I asked him that since the engine is being taken apart how much extra is it going to be for a piston and rings replacement. he added $2000 more since he is going to replace the piston, rings and rods and re-bore the cylinders.
I just feel that it is a waste to get rid of this car, since i know these motors can go significant amount of miles if its taken cared of unlike how it was taken care of by previous owner since this is happening. if its rebuilt at 145k miles ( believe i can take it for another 145k. I’m just wondering if all this money on parts and labor is accurate for a reputable shop to work on this type of motor
