    Cool first timer... swapping engines advice would be nice

    well I bought a 1991 Honda Prelude si with a questionable engine... so I'm just going to take the old prone to burn oil b21 and drop in a b20a5. I'm going to do the swap myself for learning purposes... I have worked on my old eg and have changed a head gasket in it, so I know a little bit about cars, but I still want more advice before I actually attempt. I'm not sure exactly what is wrong with the b21, so I'm probably going to pull it out and tinker with the engine and get to know these little 4bangers. I have a few tools, but if there's any awkward tools that you think I would need that the normal guy doesn't have... it would be much appreciated if someone could point me into the right direction.

    I'm going to have a friend help me, but he doesn't know anything about cars.

    it is a 5spd and I was wondering how would I know if it has the 4ws or not? and would it be worth it to buy the 4ws stuff in the future, or does it not make that much of a difference....?
