EVERYONE is saying it wrong,,,, Its STEALERSHIP! 
Your being RIPPED OFF, I've helped people with ZERO mechanical skills do this job over the internet and they have been successful.
Just tell your self that you are going to do it and GETERDONE!
Then send the $3000 that you saved to me..
LOL!!!
Other than some oil leaks,,,,, WHY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, do you THINK you need a new engine?????????????????????????????????? ???
They are BROW BEATING and intimidating you into spending a WHOLE lot more money than you really need to..
Hell, if you lived here, it would already be fixed!

I plan on keeping the car until they burry me, I just figured if I put a crate moter in I would be starting with a known baseline, this won't happen until the car is payed off anyway.
I wish you lived close by ;-)
Thanks again Bill, I'm starting to gather parts now, prpbably be a couple of weeks before I start, But might wait until I move into my new place first.
Would you be available for a phone consult ?
Thanks again

I don't need a new engine, compression is good, no noises, just leaks.

I'm 99% sure those are 18ft lbs, use blue loctite, they require 13mm socket. I think you are supposed to get them torqued down snug and then criss cross on those when torquing to spec. It's been 8 months since I did it. Dont forget to dab each corner with high temp gasket maker. I used saccity front seal tool to install the seal.
