Which is better for a b18 honda/acura engine, a swap or service cylinder head caused by blown head gasket??

Question:
My B18 engine on a 1990 acura integra GS has a blown head gasket. I oughta know if replacing the head gasket is good or having an engine swap is better. Also, I'm looking at the cost for both and the difference between the two were about $500USD. I'm trying to get my valve head taken out without taking the valves nor the spring. Is it necessary to remove the valves and spring when servicing the cylinder head? Also, thinking of getting the valve seals replace while getting my cylinder head gasket fixed. Is it necessary to replace the seals? Anybody know how much would it cost for all the above to get fixed?

Yeah, buy american and then you would have thrown it away by now. Hell, you might be on your second or third by now. And wit-h the price of gas, it could just sit in your driveway and stay new.

Seriously, usually the swap depends on how old the engine is before the overheating, how bad it overheated, availability of used engines, can you verify condition of used engines, how long you want to keep the car, what country are you in. Are ;you taking it to a real garage or some friends, etc. Yes, you can re-surface the head without valve work. The most important thing to do is find out and repair the cause of the overheating before you overheat the fresh repairs. email me for more advice, if needed.
