So guys, I took off my valve cover. Then I took out my rocker arms. After close examination, I determined:
-The pad on one of the intake rocker arms was completely worn down. The valve stems, and even the tappets looks to be good.
-Two of the "timing plates" for the VTEC are broken. (part #13: http://www.hondapartsnow.com/diagrams/large/valve-rocker-arm-456520.png)
-Spark plugs are oily? And have carbon on them. Its been only like 5000 miles and theyre NGK iridium plugs.
Some youtube vids I made:

I'm pretty sure this explains my high RPM misfire (according to ECU)
PDF on how the timing plate is used:

I didn't expect this, so I have all the parts for 5spd swap and timing belt
So now I have a bunch of options:
Option 1: Keep car, fix the problems. Then change the timing belt. Then 5spd swap
Option 2: Run car until it dies. Swap used engine. then change timing belt. Then 5spd swap
Option 3: Run car until it dies. Sell timing + 5spd parts. Part out all mods on car + stock parts. Sell the rest for metal.
Option 4: Sell car now (with mods). and buy a new car.
Option 5: Restore car to stock phase and sell parts. Sell car (without mods)
WTF should i do???
thx guys. i love you. no homo
