Sorry to hear about your car Bill. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
Cheers Andy. Mate coming up to look at it tonite, but not looking good-looks as though the head gasket may of gone. Oil and water mixed together in coolant etc...

Yep, that would sound about right then...
Sorry dude.

H22 swap would be direct swap for the engines complete with loom and then swap the ECU.
Think if you swap in the H22 engine loom, you don't need to run any extra wires for vtec because the vtec wire between the ECU plugs and the engine loom plugs is already there, it's just missing in the H23 engine loom???

Is that right everyone else???

Bummer.
Was the head gasket then?

Yes head Gasket f*cked. Also lots of other things like engine wall cracked and cylinders and pistons buggered!!!!!! Just not worth repairing, would not be worth it.
