Default Question h22a with atlantis head

I came across a friend who happens to have a fully built h22a with atlantis head, skunk2 and dc everythings.

However, he liked it nos'd, and I have a feeling there's a big huge hole in the block now. He's offering to let me take the motor off him for a small fee.. like $700.. and he said he's having someone drive down a block this next week. But, I regress. Is it even worth it?

When he showed it to me, it was in a 94 integra gsr. If I took the motor, it would be swapped into my 93 eg hatch.

He opened up the hood and there was oil stains on the bottom of the hood.. the radiator had spit out oil, he said, all over everything. It still turns on, but knocks.
I don't know what the expletive the knocking is.

I'm not sure to take this, without getting some third perspective. Also, any other things i overlooked in swapping it.. like mounts and ecu..

I've searched for some in detail instructions for the swap, but I need an opinion on weather or not it would be worth it.

is there a punchline?
there's gotta be a punchline.
this is obviously a joke right?

if you need help with the swap you obviously won't be rebuilding the bottom end yourself....so i don't see how this is an option for you....unless we're missing a part of this story.

I think you should be more worried when a radiator spits oil than when it knocks...

Very true. Though i took him for meaning it spits coolant.

It would be tough for a radiator to spit engine oil.

Unless the owner was retarded enough to put oil in the coolant overflow tank.
