2. Could have been oiling issues, not just from the head but from a shitty oil pump, or nasty oil flow through the craptastic block. when stuff is this old and youre doing this much work and piecing together a motor like this, each part should be 110% inspected and cleaned by a reputable machine shop.

3. Basic engine swap? So the shop didn't install the cam or assemble the motor? If not who did?

More than likely its fates fault and youll need to try again, this time paying closer attention to the details.
Bisi doesnt make regrinds for vtec motor for one and the motor wasnt pieced together, and if you read the second post i said the shop who did the swap told me the cam wa siezed when i brought it up there, and he had to take it apart to repair it, but before i took it to them i had the machine shop put the head together for me
