Duh, have you fixed your radiator? I was in the car when my bro was going 130 on the highway ( bad idea) and at the time he didnt realize his fan wasnt working.....he took it to a show, turned the car off and radiator fluid went everywhere and started smoking. His fan wasnt working which cause the overheating. Fixed the wires to the fan, fan started working and then the car has been fine ever since. Check if the fan is working and if you havnt fixed the radiator....fix it.

don't rev it either to be listening to the noise, try not to even start it.
Compression test, leak down test, cut oil filter and see if there is any metal particles inside.

With your line of questioning, I DO NOT recomend going with the VTEC head. Just take it to your nearest import repair shop.
