A.) my car has a blow gasket and hopefully not warped. Previous owner didn't keep driving when he saw temp riding. Any thoughts? May the block be ok?

B.) what engines can go in my 1987 Honda accord sedan?

My son's 88 dx was ran hot and the head was warped . The shop shaved one eight thousands of an inch off of it. I so not know the odds of the block not being true . Maybe others have some experience there. May want to get it checked and compare the cost to a supplier on eBay that sells heads that are completely reworked. J. I. S . On eBay sells reman engines for $750 long block excluding shipping.

How much was it to shave the block? Did they charge too much?
