nope, i bought the car 6 months ago with that engine. I think they're was a problem with the original engine, and the owner realized it was ****. so he put a d15b7 (dx - 102hp) instead of b15b8 (cx - 70hp)

i didn't take it off, i didn't wanna go buy a new gasket cuz my current one is fucked....

and as for the bolts, i didn't paint them but they were all rusty and old looking so i just painted them too, and loosened them up a bit so i don't paint them shut...
