What other problems can one look for if the car is smoking and you may not NEED to change or rebuild a engine? What site or contacts can one find a good B16 for a swap?

white smoke in the morning upon initial start up. black smoke can be tuned out. as far as a good site to find a b16.....ive gotten a few from import auto salvage in nc...also japan direct, some also use nippon but i have received 2 out of 3 that required a rebuild through them.

MY CAR DOES SOMOKE ALL THE TIME, I THINK THE SMOKE IS BECAUSE THE HEAD GAKET MIGHT BE MESSED UP
you stated in pm that the smoke is black/grey..... black smoke is caused by running to rich and can be tuned out with an safc or such. it wouldnt have anything to do with the head gasket. grey/white smoke is caused by rapid cooling of the combustion chamber caused by coolant/water getting into the combustion chambers. this could be caused by the head gasket. but if the headgasket were installed wrong on a honda, it will still run fine, although 2 of your head studs would have been pushed through the headgasket.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN RUNNIRNG TO RICH AND WHAT EXACTLY DO I NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM? AND HOW CAN PREVENT WATER FROM GOING IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER I THINK THE HEAD GASKET IS THE ORIGINAL FROM FACTORY AND NEVER BEEN CHANGED.

running rich=too much fuel.....there are many things that can cause this from bad air filter to leaky injectors........water into the combustion chamber can be caused by many things including bad headgasket to a cracked head/block.

Sounds like you need a technician you can trust to check the car over for you.
