How much smoke we talkin? I mean mine will let out a puff after not being started for like a month but it only last for a second then goes away. If it's bad it could be the rings not sealing.

look for cel codes, n if it was obd1 swapped, if they used jumper harness's, or hardwired, vtec wont crack with a check engine lite, tell him you want to test drive it n see if vtec works, if not then theres wiring issues

did u check the oil, usually black smoke is rings, try a compression check on it, only takes a few minutes and if compression is good then change the oil, it did sit for a year, oil breaks down 3 months after starting the car cuz gas gets mixed in the oil. im not a honda guru, but its a suggestion, worse comes to worse get the car cheaper and change the bottom end out

 

my guess is valve stem seals, probably got dried up and oil's sneaking by.

Valve stem seals

 

Okay, I think I can get it for around $600 and plan on putting alittle in it. Think I should go for it? And how long can I run with bad seals, I can get another head in a few months.

 

If you can buy a running car for 600 I would jump on it. Why replace head, why not replace just the seals? Cheaper!!
