Where about in Ga are you? Whats wrong with your current motor?

I'm just outside of Atlanta and have a complete motor.  It will need to be gone through, but I have one.  PM me for details if you're interested.

I'm in Gainesville ga 45 min north of Atlanta. The mechanic has told me that the pistons are leaking oil into the block causing it to smoke a little. but the main issue is it's lose of power.

Loss of power could be from a number of things, but if your rings are shot, it would leak oil and you would lose power.  Not sure you need a new engine.

well originally the timing belt had broken. and i had it taken to the mechanic. before he figured out that the timing belt needed replacing he had me buy and replace : main relay, ignition coil, distributor (used from an RPR member), then the mechanic told me it was probably a bad icm on the distributor since it was used...so i bought a new reman. one from advanced auto parts..
...all of that before he lifted the timing belt cover to realize it was the belt that had broken and caused my original PGM-FI indicator to come on as my crx cut out on me with no warning.

i changed the belt myself after this and got it away from that mechanic, its been sitting for a few months since while ive been trying to get it going myself. with no luck

i finally broke down again considering I had to move last week. So I took it to a friend of mine's mechanic that had it towed to his shop. Is there he told me that it was burning oil in the Pistons car leaking oil inside the block and that the head was messed up. He said he could have me run hey Lucas Oil Treatment brand through it but I lost power would still be there it was a lot louder then it was before all of this , in a bad way. I decided against going with that method for the fact that as much as I need it to be able to get around I need to go I didn't want to cause any additional problems causing me to get stuck somewhere. And to rebuild the internals of the motor I have in it now , the mechanic said money-wise it probably be more beneficial for me to get a new working motor that would be too fix the one that's in it

Ok, a timing belt breaking is a big deal.  Did it break while driving or just trying to turn it over?  Did the most recent mechanic pull the head?  It could be really bad, or it could be mild valve damage that would be worth repairing.  If you're talking about swapping engines, I'd just pull the head to see just how bad things are.

[Mc_duzy]

it happened while the car was running.. the head has not been removed for inspection as of yet. what exactly do i look for when i have it off the block?

Uh oh.  Usually it's pretty obvious, but you want to check for bent valves and/or damaged pistons.  If you're lucky and nothing looks damaged, check all the valve clearances and make sure they're all seating properly.  Also, check around the valve guides if there is any oil on the combustion chamber side.  Good luck!
