Yup, it's in my bookmarks.

If I could find some h23 pistons/rods, I would definitely buy them.

The compression on the engine was about average as far as h22's go. Most JDM H22's are just about the same. 1-4; 205-210-210-220. That's what makes me thing the pistons are still good.

Truth. The nitride coating owns the cranks... Pull the oil pump apart and look at the gears... Mine were shattered and it sounded like death after the overrev..... It was not rythmic, sounded REALLY bad when it happened, and I still had SOME oil pressure for a while...


Took it apart and found the gears broke into about 7 pieces.

Like I said the pictures may make them worse then they are. Try some scotch brite to clean them up. If you feel deep grooves on the wall of the pistons I wouldnt use them but if its all you have well they will work just wont be the way i would do it. Me before I got paid to do this ---- says ---- it run it

I can't feel anything when I run my finger nail across the skirts of the pistons.

I'm getting a set of JDM H22 pistons for CHEAP. Hello 12:1 compression I'll probably end up getting a .052" cometic head gasket to lower it a bit.

I'm also getting a set of brand spanking new ACL Race bearings for FREE from the same guy that's selling me the pistons for cheap.

I'm trying to figure out the oil pump thing. I have a nearly new (10kmiles) f22 oil pump from Toga. I looked up part numbers on importperformanceparts.com and they showed the prelude's f22a1 has the same pump as the h22 does, but the f22a1 from the accord has a different pump. It would be another thing that explains why the f22a1 from the lude has 10hp more than the accords. But Honda shows the same part # for all f22a oil pumps, regardless of chassis.

You guys think using the f22a oil pump on an h22 is a good idea, at least for a short time while I save up for an OEM h22 pump?

my h22 has ~230ish across all 4, but above 200psi should be good either way.

I know bigdaddyvtec says don't do it....but if it fits it should hold up N/A with minimal abuse. But if ur putting the h23/f22 crank in with the h22a pistons....i would keep an eye on oil pressure, and make sure u don't rev the **** out of it.

Do u feel any scratches when u run ur nail down the sleeve?

Make sure u get all the shavings out of the block...

Is there a way to check the oil squirters for shavings? or are they filtered somehow?

I might be able to get ahold of one for you that has really low miles on it for like 40-50 bux... I know its less than optimal, but it came out of a good motor that cracked the ringlands and the guy just built a motor... Ill look into it for you tomorrow if you like.

looks like someone forgot to change the oil a few times.
