Crankshaft and Rods. I can't find any!!!

[ImSoohoo]

I'm looking for oem crankshafts and rods for my h22a1 in the backyard. I've tried online, creigslist, and Hap recycling hasn't responded to my email yet...i really need to get these things replaced. Anyone know a parts store where I can find these engine internals?

You want OEM? Why? The only place you'll get oem rods/cranks are from a used motor. Unless you want to pay top dollar for them at a dealership.

I think Honda is the only place you will get OEM parts like that. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trust used parts if you were trying to build an engine. If you are worried about price, you could look at Majestic Honda, in Rhode Island. They will ship stuff to you, all OEM, but at a more wholesale price (still expensive, though).

Since you're in Sacramento, Venus Auto Parts in Elk Grove has some decent engines. He might work a deal with you regarding just the internals.

How come you are looking for these parts? Did you get a short block without the crank/pistons?

You could go aftermarket, bump the compression up a little bit, get a decent tune, etc, and have a decent NA motor.

It's just that in California. I have to keep everything stock. I would like to raise the compression, but with smog regulations....I don't wanna take a chance. So aiming for completely stock stuff.

As long as you have a reasonably efficient motor after you build and tune it, smog isn't going to be a problem. You aren't going to loose smog compliance by building the engine up, unless you are not burning the mixture correctly, which is all smog checks are aimed at catching.
