I was recently introduced to the idea of the reversed head H22's that used to be utilized in the JTCC and BTCC CD Accords. Has anyone done a reversed head swap in a CB? I know there's an Odyssey out there with the swap, but will it fit and work in a CB? It's definitely got pros in that your intake temps are almost 30 degrees cooler and makes ITB setups a lot easier considering the confines of our engine bays. Obviously a custom header and I believe an external coil setup is needed, but I figured if it works in a CB, it would be the direction I'm going in when I get a hold of an H22.
Pics to give you guys an idea of what I'm talking about:
Basic Process List:
*Possibly a new crankshaft.
*"Neil Brown" head gasket is needed for the reversal.
*Modify camshafts to fit in the head backwards and to use a smaller cam seal.
*Reroute the high pressure oil line for lubricating the cams.
*Insulate oil lines since they will be located in the area of where the header would be located.
*Relocate oil filter.
*Run oil lines so that VTEC can engage properly (possibly the most difficult part).
*Use another system for fuel ignition since the distributor has clearance issues with the thermostat housing.
*Possibly ITB setup and custom header.
