Mechanic Job in Corvallis, Oregon

It first began with my car needing a new camshaft sensor in order to start. This was verified through a mechanic shop who diagnosed why my vehicle wouldn’t start in the first place. I wanted to get a second opinion on this and so I posted a gig through Craigslist for a mechanic to verify this and also help me replace the part since it was behind the timing belt and serpentine belt. The cam shaft sensor was replaced and car still didn’t start. The mechanic began re-diagnosing on what could be causing this issue, he ended up realizing that there was a small mistake when he was putting the timing belt back on. A small pin was not flushed in and when it popped out trying to turn the car over my valves and pistons interfered with each other. So now I have to replace the motor. The mechanic was good hearted and accepted what his mistake caused. He went ahead and purchased a motor from B&R salvage yard. He made sure to verify if the motor will match up by giving them my VIN. The motor was in very good shape form the looks of it. He went ahead and replaced the motor. Everything was going well until he got to the wiring harness. They looked off, so he called B&R and they didn’t tell him it came off a manual vehicle. Now this is requiring more work. I made sure with Honda dealership that if it’s possible to replace an automatic motor with a manual, they said yes but I need to switch out the wiring harness and make sure the flex plate is taken off from my old motor. The mechanic knew this already and began carefully switching out the wiring harness. He is now stuck with 2 wires and he doesn’t entirely know where they go. This is where I need a Honda specialist to come and complete this job. There are 2, one is green with a yellow strip and the other is blue with another color strip on it that I can’t remember what color. I just want my car fixed already and it’s been almost 2 weeks. Please someone come out with a very reasonable price to complete this. Thank you for your time.
