so i finally had a day of work and got my hands dirty , first job remove rocker cover , remove rocker gasket and all other seals ,while the cover was off i gave the inside a good clean and removed the old flaky paint from the outside and painted it with VHT paint ( black ) ,refitted new seals and gasket (14,99 euro from place behind eddie rockets in swords ) , next i removed the full dizzy from the head and fitted the one paul gave me , refitted same and fired hur up , the car not paul !!. all running well , might have to advance the timing a little , but driving well , im am now a happy camper as i though the engine might be f7cked when i saw oil all over the plugs , a good service and an engine flush is required next .ttfn

any hints for getting a car going if the immobiliser is enabled. left me civic parked up and came back and car wont start,tried jumpin etc. seemed to be a buzz from alarm,as if its struggling to emit an alarm nosie... dont have an alarm fob or anything else,thought the damn thing was switched off.any ideas? im happy enough with wiring if its possible to do myself

do ya have a part number for the gasket kit? any pictures of the paint job. my rocker cover could do with the same treatment. did ya get just a heat resistant paint or is it the original honda black.

Glad to hear it's alive again, Brian, and that the dizzy I gave you actually works.

dizzy was more or less a straight swap cheers . i dont have part number for the kit , but he found it straight away on their system , used nitromorse to remove old paint and just plain black high temp paint ,for now . looks much cleaner .
