As for swapping your SOHC 2.0 for a twin cam or turbo, I doubt CA regulations will allow it (even if it is a newer and cleaner engine...) I'd take the head off the engine and eyeball the bores and pistons so you'll get a better idea of what you're up against. If the bores aren't damaged and there isn't an obvious lip around the top of it, you may get away with polishing up the pistons, deglazing the bores and installing new stock rings. IDK what your skill set is like, but if you have a torque wrench and you aren't scared of wielding a spanner you can totally do it yourself. It would be a good time to give the head a once over, maybe tidy up the ports and intake manifold as well.
