Just buy a $30 Stanley comp tester from Supercheap auto and use that. Comes with the right fitting for your engine.
If the compression figures aren't uneven or really low then you can place your bets on the valve guides and seals.

Sweet. Thanks mate.
I've noticed today that my oil pump has a busted mounting point, and the sump gasket appears to be leaking. While I'm replacing the gasket I want to replace the pump too. Is there anything that you guys would recommend. I've seen some "hi-flow" pumps around, is there really anything to be gained? Even if the car were tracked??
I'm not sure what you mean by a "busted mounting point".
The oil pump bolts flush to the front side of the block. Unless you mean it's leaking somewhere?
I have never seen or heard of a "high flow oil pump" for B series but I have seen some better gears for the OEM pump.
Don't bother with modding the oil pump, honestly. The stock ITR pump creates more than enough oil pressure for street/track/anywhere unless you're trying to build an 11,000RPM engine lol.
Best thing to do would be to replace the pump with a brand new one and also do a timing belt job while you're at it, considering the belt has to come off to replace the pump anyway..
I'll try taking a picture for it. By front side do you mean under the cam gears??
Where the bolt goes through, the casing has cracked and fractured.
From the sounds of things, dude you have 101 problems that the interwebs cant fix.
Stop reading things on the net. Trial and error will cost you.
Take her to a proper shop and tell them whats happening and to have a sticky beak.
Before its too late. Get ready to spend ~1k on a major service from the sounds of things.
I just have a good feeling, your playing "Catch up services" due to previous owners abuse and lack of caring.
You have a car that's used. Sure you love her, but how far are you willing to go?
Shes already been trashed, use her, have your fun and move on.
Not too mention, your reving to 9k on cold start.
Hahahaha

If I plan to go turbo with it, I would rather have an engine that is 100% and reliable. Even if that means doing a full rebuild, bore and hone.
If I don't fix it, a future owner will be left with the issue, or the engine will just be scrapped, and I personally don't want to see another honda off the road anymore than you do, especially if it occurs while I'm driving it.
