Well, I blew a rod, and killed the D15B7. Have a hole in the block, and a hole in the oil pan.
Just ordered a D16Z6, and a P28 ECU, should be here tomorrow.
Here's some pics of my swap progress.

Dang.
Was this a N/A engine? if so did you just ignore the rod knock? Just curious to how a N/A D15 pops.

Rod knock started 3 days ago, I had full oil level, and lucas oil treatment in the oil as well. The knock didn't go away.
When I bought the car, the girl told me that she just wanted to get rid of it because it burns oil like crazy, and it did. 1 litre a day.
I knew it'd die eventually, and now it has.
Either way, my D16 gets here today, and it'll be good as new

Its called neglect. Hondas arent supercars and as such, arent treated like they are.

just curious as to what the rod knock sounds like,i have a d15b7(i think) 1.5 16 valve non vtec, my car burns oil pretty bad if i step on it, i do abuse it because i plan on doing a swap over the winter, BUT i do maintain it and bsides the oil burning it runs nice, how ever i do hear a ticking sound. some say its normal. gets a little louder and faster when i give it gas, can only really hear it clearly in 1st gear second gear and a little bit in third

JDMLYFE it sounds like ur having valve clash so u need to check that before they bend or break and it also sounds like u may have bad valve seals and/or piston rings or just an oil leak somewhere man check that before its to late..

If they touch once, they're bent. Theres no going back.
I'd do a valve lash adjustment. then check mechanical timing (timing belt, gears, etc).
