If you had some messed up valves it would have been loud and noticeable when it was started.

I got it started and actually drove it 20 miles lol, but when it sits for a while, it doesn't wanna start so im thinking the fuel filter might be poop so im going to replace that next then drain the coolant then replace all the belts, also get a new battery for it, tomorrow I'm having someone get me a timing gun so I can set the timing just right.

Congrats on getting it running. What did it end up being?

You're on the right track. Since you got the car so cheap I wouldn't hesitate doing a lot of maintenance. Valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seals, vtec solenoid gasket, cam seal, timing/ac/ps belts, new tranny fluid, coolant, oil pan gasket (if there is any sign of leakage), fuel filter, intake filter, brake fluid, ps fluid. All I can think of off the top of my head.

Does it have the stock air box or an aftermarket intake? If it has the stock one and you decide to go aftermarket shoot me a message if you want to sell the oem box.
