need help with identification
Dare I say...

You can be honest, man. No one gets purchases like this unless its one of two ways. 1)Estate Sale / Auction, or 2) theft. And you don't seem like a thief to me.. Much too nice
Did your guy at the Autozone parts store want any of your goods?

Please check my other posts. I have said already i purchased multiple sealed boxes that said auto parts. I opened the boxes and was full of all this stuff, but know nothing about it and have no honda. Was told to come on this site by a Honda civic guy the manager of an autozone. I am trying to get everything identified so I can list everything with some confidence. I will be selling it all. Have like 20 more things still in box. The boxes are opened but parts are new.
As far as this thread goes the springs are in a box marked bt-5984h which after some research says is rod box. I would assume these are the rods that are in the built engine i have as well. I zm trying to be as honest as possible as i will list this stuff when full member.

Guy at autozone said he just purchased a house and wife would kill him if he purchased some of it. He said he knew a guy in OKC who does installs and would contact him, but i have yet to hear anything so learning about this stuff and going to sell when i can. TY all for your help to this point.
This statement made me think of your auction:
I'm really not giving you any crap. I just found it interesting. Unfortunately, you can't go by what any of this could or couldn't be worth even after identification. The market for these components in the Honda world have a LOT of variables.
What is worth $100 in California, my be worth 10 times as much in some place like OKC due to availability. So, once you find out the exact model and condition of many of these items, you'll need to conduct the research to figure out what may be of value in YOUR area vs. other markets.
I know the Autozone guy was trying to help, but H-T is not really a forum in which its members take a lot of time to answer the question "what its worth?", or just give other information except for a select thread or two. They may answer the question as to what the component is, but you may have to go through some more steps on your own to figure out that component is valuable or not. I hate to say it, but without the "enthusiast" attitude and passion, you're going to hit a few stumbling blocks.
Kinda like that Turbonetics turbo you were trying to figure out. Sure,we can help tell you what it is, but value? hmmm.. Hard to gauge.
This site is more of a forum site for enthusiasts that discuss, debate, and advocate the Honda aftermarket performance community. When it comes to selling something, that's where the Marketplace is for, once you've done the research knowing the names of companies, components, etc.
Perhaps this thread may help you in your quest for "pawning" off your newly discovered wares..
What's it worth $$$ should I buy, what's it cost?
But you'll need to do a bit more grunt work to know what you have. This link may help you as you can put ALL your cards on the table instead of dabbling through various forum topics to figure out what you have. Otherwise, you might get your inquiry locked. The moderators do pay attention to where you are, and since you have no interest in the "enthusiast" aspect, may ask you to leave. I don't want that to happen, so that's why I provided that information, so you don't inadvertently clutter up all these forums with the questions you have.
Does that sound ok to you?
Good luck, my friend and happy hunting.

Storage wars!!! YUUUPPP!!!!!!!!!
Looks like two sets of valve spring retainers with a wires through them tied,
in the box it looks to be two sets of dual valve springs could be just oem springs or if your lucky after market or at the least from a B series Type R..
In the box with the parts wraped in plastic from one piece i can confirm its a cam cap for a B series Head, could be D series but i know its a cam cap that looks like from a vtec B series head.
These could be from a B series Vtec head but with out better pics thats all i can confirm..
That stuff is IB Spec from 10 years ago. It was never popular then and certainly didn't gain any value over the years.
What Thrasher96 hasn't realized is that there are literally HUNDREDS of companies that designed these parts for several of Honda's major platforms from 1986-present. that's almost 30 years of aftermarket. Many were junk even new in the box from eBay companies or companies that just had horrible reputation. Others like SPOON , TODA RACING, King Motorsports, GReddy, APex'i, etc have a great racing history and could have higher value based upon the condition and rarity of the product, because they are no longer or rarely found in production.
The only thing is, MANY of these companies COPIED the good ones, so most of the time, the stuff you find is just NOT VALUABLE unless its for someone cheap enough to pay for them. This is where his difficulty will lie.
I do wish him well, though.

I do appreciate everything all members are giving to me. I am doing tons of searches and have learned a great deal in the process. I want this stuff to go to someone who appreciates it for what it is. I have called turbonetics blox skunk2 and many other companies to identify, but they can only give me prices of what it was worth things like that. I know some items are dated, but h-t is where i will get the most realistic price for anything and will go to good use. I dont want to insult anyone by asking $400 for a $250 part cause i didnt take a little time and ask questions. I will stop with the questions and just list everything in 1 post when its time, so i dont **** anyone here off.
Most of that if not properly identified is worthless to someone! choosing the correct valve springs is cridical when building a engine and no ones gonna want a unknown set of springs and miss match them to the cams being used. even if there after market you have no idea of there condition or milage on them that will affect the price they generally go for of course.
The oem retainers are worthless.
The cam caps are to be only used for the head the came off. using cam caps on a diffrent head will require the cam caps to be line bored to the head so that theres no clearance issues. And even knowing the head there for there not worth more than $50 imo.
Anything else in that head??
