Why don't you just have him replace the engine? If you're going to
replace parts willy nilly with any regard to wether they need
to be replaced, you might as well just replace the engine; at least
that way you have a good chance of fixing the problem.

P.S. the coil is far more likely to die than the ignitor. However, I'd
check the engine computer for codes before doing anything.
