I can tell you, that in my experience if you go to Honda/Acura techs your barkin up the wrong tree. That is the ultimate sucker job right there. The Honda techs up the road at a local dealership have taken in numerous swaps and haven't managed to have one leave running. One of the Honda techs knows me, as well as the parts department people, and they have subcontracted the wiring to me 5 times now. I bailed that dealership out big time, and yet they continue to bring in swaps.
People get a Honda engine, and figure take it to Honda...to Honda trained certified mechanics. Well, at Honda that's exactly what you get, mechanics. They'll change a timing belt and do a recall repair with the best of them, but if you are looking for someone knowledgeable in the field of things "hybrid" in nature, they aren't going to be it. There is only one place to find a capable group or individual, and that is generally a specified business in this field or someone with plain out experience.
I am not Honda certified in a damn thing, but I go up to that dealership on a regular basis and school 20 year Honda techs. Don't get me wrong, they've got me in recall knowledge, and they've got me in how to change god knows what in a 2004 Honda Pilot, but if isn't written in clear language in the Helms manual they haven't got a clue. The ability to perform your K swap requires an individual who is self taught with a natural ability towards fabrication, wiring, problem solving, backed with experience working and altering Honda's in a non factory recognized fashion.
My point of all this rambling is this; just because they are a Honda "certified" tech doesn't mean sh*t, and I am supporting that with my experience at the local dealership. Alot of customers have gotten a rude awakening, getting charged dealer rates for a swap that didn't run for 2 months. Here they are comfy that their Honda is sitting at Honda's garage, and it doesn't run and they are PISSED. The only acception to this NO HONDA DEALER rule, is that some Honda dealerships have jumped onto this surge of modification and do have people capable of going to this level. Generally younger techs are the guys doing it, because they are "into" it themselves. Look for experience, not a certification is all I am saying.
