Engine swap or new valve cover's?
Here is my dilemma.
My spark plug seals are leaking on both sides(don't know which cylinder numbers but its the back one by the firewall wall,both of them)
Option 1: New valve covers+some labour 800-900CAD (each valve cover is 346+13%tax)
Option 2: another engine 800-1300 + 500 labour
What options would you suggest?Money wise is about the same,plus my car already has 209k on it.
Question:what vq35de's can i put in there,could i put a HR in there?
Thank you.
P.S if anyone has any ideas on how to fix the issue without replacing the spark plugs,would greatly appreciate it.

The symptoms that are diagnosed are.
My rings are starting to go.
Valve covers needs to be change
And Misc stuff that i cant do with the engine in there.
So the question is,could i swap for a newer VQ with more power in the 2004 sedan?
By looking at it its worth the 500-800 extra.

I am leaning towards the swap because i can fix other issues we have or prevent them.
