yes its 96+ is obdII but i wasnt sure if it was in Japan notice he said JDM C5.

 

The wiring Honda used was the same. The ECU might not have the actual OBD2 capabilities but the harness plugs are the same.

 

ok, i'm back. the car's in the shop but the guys haven't looked at it yet *insert rolling eyes here*. yes, popped means snapped. no the car doesn't run. i've been on the guys to get the car in the shop so i can figure out what i need to do, so i'll get back to you guys soon (today-fingers crossed).

 

ok so i stopped by the shop and checked everything out and it looks good to me, the mechanic said they checked out the head and everything is hunky dory. i got really lucky. one of the valves hit a piston but it just barely hit in the "groove". just kicked up the carbon buildup. the mechanic said all the valves seat properly and everything checks out. so good news. now all i need is a complete head gasket set with all the caps and seals and what not. where would i get a "performance" kit like this? also, i need the cam bearing aswell, what are people using? where can i get them? the dealer is the obvious answer so please let me know on some "aftermarket" companies so i can do some shopping around. thank you much.
