                  Oh BLACK smoke....def the battery then.

                  I'm sorry, I'm not helping.

                  Oil is seeping into the antifreeze, and probably vice versa. Headgasket.

                    the general description of a bad headgasket are: loss of coolant and oil, discoloration of exhaust, loss of power
                    based on what you've told us... i think the general concensus is that you need a new headgasket. while you've got the head off... get work done by www.gude.com or find a reputable company over honda-tech

                      or if you are local, just have quality engine work on it for you. pull it yourself, let them re ring it and get new bearings done, complete the whole machining process and you will have a great running engine. remove all unnecessary things that will cost more and will charge more.

                          are you doing it yourself or taking it in?

                            no reason to do all of that if it's a head gasket... head gaskets are like 100 bucks.... if you can do the work yourself. If not I'm sure it'll be a good 500 bucks. Quite a bit of labor

                              i don't know.... he does come across as being pretty slow, and he has an expensive swap, (unless he's really slow) they'll probably try to soak him for 200 or more over the cost
                              aren't headgaskets usually close to 1k though?

                                Headgasket in an integra runs about $500 w/ parts, including new water pump and timing belt.
