[slomofo]

well i have a 91 lx f22a motor and the head went bad and found a f22 single cam vtec head really cheap in good condition the head is a complete 95 f22 vtec head with vtec solenoid i have a 94 dizzy and a 94 complete intake mani before i change the head im replacing all gaskets head intake exhaust mai etc.i have a 94 throttle cable im also taking out my ps and a/c.my questions are: 1. can i bolt it right up or do i have to adjust anything like timing and so on? 2.do i have to run a different ecu or can i repin mine? and i kno some ppl are gunna ask why not a dohc?..i jus like single cam and want to stay with it. any help would be greatly apprechaited. heres a pic of the single can after i repainted it..

[slomofo]

any1? i re read the emails from the guy i bought the head from and he told me everything will bolt up with a head gasket for the vtec model and pull the oil plug out of the center of the block. and wire in the vtec in the stock harness and to either repin my ecu or get a p06 from a 94 95 accord? is there anything else im missing?

I am not too sure about your questions but if I was you, I would just try to find a F22A head for a good price instead. You can probably find one for the same price as the F22B and it is much better. Sell the F22B and get the F22A

DOHC FTW!!!

im trying to stay single cam im in the process of gettin a h22/23 complete intake mani trying to find one fairly cheap but im jus using the 94 intake mani for now i need to get my car running...i have a week off work and need to get it done before i go back. i have already bought a complete gasket kit i bought the f22b gasket kit from ebay for cheap. is there a major differrence between the f22a and the f22b gaskets would i have any problems or should i have jus gotten the complete kit for the f22a? and were you located at SLICE?

[deevergote]

The H23 intake mani won't work on that head. Not to mention, the F22B1 head is a downgrade from the F22A.

If you wana stay SOHC then stick with a F22a.

to the OP do what u want, Valve Cover looks nice, u got wat u wanted so jus use it. Yes its a down grade to the f22a head but since u got it, jus use it...

[deevergote]

It does require some modification to install, and other plans (such as the H23 intake manifold) will be compromised. Yes, he can do whatever he wants... but we're simply educating him to the fact that the head he is about to invest time and money into isn't a good idea.

The vtec the f22b1's have isn't special at all. It's not worth the extra work. My buddies got a 94 ex, and it's not impressive at all. Also, you'll have to get a new header, cause your f22a header won't fit the f22b's head.

thank you guys for the suggestions...will keep them in mind..i got everything i need and all the info for the swap..along with that will also be doing a a/c p/s delete, along with a good cleaning of the engine bay and a wire tuck should come out nice.
