You can't hone a h22a?

I am thinking of buying this h22a short block that i pulled from car at work to make a h23vtec and the only thing wrong with the motor is it needs new rings. Now the guy i work for said that you can't hone it because they have some sort of coating on the sleves. I was just wondering if any one has heard of this and if it was true.

I think the H series got aramid imbedded aluminum cyliders, so no. most other hondas all got iron sleeves, so can be honed.

You cannot hone h22a sleaves because they are made out of navalskdjfa;lsdkjfa;sdlkf material, and they are SUPER *** thin... and to make an h23 vtec, you need an h23 block and h22a head.. not just a h22 block (that has nothing to do with an h23 vtec)

I don't think honing would be a problem. I just had a nikasil plated cylinder honed with no problem. They don't remove much material when they hone. They just create a new surface for the new rings to seal to. If they had to remove any extra material to remove any deep scratches they would have had to re-nikasil plate the cylinder.

Thanks for the help guys. Oh and i know you need the h23 block for the h23vtec, i pulled the h22 out because it had blown rings and i put the head off it on an h23 short block.
