It seems we have reached the limit of what can be done over the internet. The car is obviously running too rich and/or too cold. Either your cat is not working or it is being overwelmed. My guess is that something is not "back to stock" like you think it is.

After tons of searching, I came across this thread. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...=246071&st=275
Before I found that thread, Sideways started a thread about positive pressure in the crankcase and how it can stress seals(Thread seems to have disappeard
). So I searched honda-tech.com and found that some of the symptoms of bad valve seals are smoking at start up(which I have).
Turns out that the guy in the first thread, after 12 pages
, had the same symptoms I do and turned out to be the valve seals.
I wanted to say thanks for the suggestions and will have the head off soon to inspect it after my leakdown test.
