Unscheduled repairs lead to more and more headaches.  Working on an
Acura motor is FAR EASIER than working on a Chevy motor.  I've done both
professionally, so I know what I'm talking about.  You'll be lucky if
you see a Chevy motor pull 200K miles without giving you MAJOR
headaches.  Acura motors run FOREVER...granted that you maintain them
properly.  Even if you maintain a Chevy motor regularly, something that
you'd NEVER expect to break will break.
Parts for the Chevy will undoubtedly be more inexpensive, but what I'm
talking about here is your time.  Having a car down is a waste of time
and those type of things are avoided by getting a japanese motor.  Face
it...these motors are better than American motors will be for now.
American motors are only good if they are 350+ cubic inches.  American
motors cannot be made well under that size, with only one
exception...and that is the 225 Chrysler Slant 6.
