99 civic si timing belt slipped ... Help
My 99 civic si timing belt has slipped.
I'm pretty sure my valves are toast. My mileage is 190K.
Should I consider:
- rebuilding it?
- swapping the engine?
- getting rid of it? but how?
I'm not a mechanic, so I'm not sure how to get the best value.

1,500....for what, the whole car, or to fix it?

- Apart from engine, everything else is in good condition (remember, 190K)
Situation update:
- A mechanic estimated $1500 to rebuild it
- A buddy offered $1500 to buy it
- Another buddy offered to trade for a 93 mitsubishi eclipse in really good shape (Mileage: 100K)
Any rebuilding or swapping engine success without too much follow up problems?
