You should not just change the head, change the whole motor. YOu can carb either an Si motor or DX motor. Check the emissions laws in your state. A Weber is better than an stock carb because the stock carb is difficult to tune. You have to remove the carb cover and chances are good that you will ruin the gasket when you do that a few times. The stock carb runs too rich when it is devac'ed. The air corrector jets should be bigger. You have to drill the stock ones or collect some from a bunch of other Hondas. It's too much trouble, IMO. And you may as well wire for fuel injection and not have to deal with this stuff in the long run.

ok so go fuel injected gotcha im thinkin about droppin in a single cam should i do it or nah?? also how hard si all this gonan be?

Well, I don't really think you should go FI, necessarily. The easiest way would be to swap a DX motor if your car is a DX. All other combinations have their problems, and it's up to you to overcome those problems.

What exactly is the problem with the motor. Sometimes big problems turn out to be easy fixes.

well i just went and checked sumthin out obvosly the mechanic my bro took it 2 was an asshole and wanted to make more money all the car needs is a new carb i kno this because when ever its cold it does the whoel smoking thing with the bogin etc and then it will shut off a half hour later if you in start it its perfectly fine in other words the car dosnt like the cold weather cuz in summer she runs mint. so i guess ill find a new aftermarket carb or a stocker somewhere

So are you looking for more power or just a fix for your prollem? do the d16 swap or something if you want a little more power, or you could just drop an Si motor in there and tune it a little...
