Another H22 Head Question...

[accordaremylife]

ok the h22 head is not a really good head to work with i would go with a f23 head one hole to plug water jackit in front ez i did it with some j b weld other stuff out there to plug the hole tap or whatever i used my f22a1 distributor and intake all u need for this build is the head exhaust a down pipe from a f22a6 will fit same timing to did this build in a day

i hope this helps u out and u can port this head to and get the same power as the h22

The f23 head is also a terrible flowing head....might as well do the whole swap...switching heads is a dangerous project unless you doit right with time and money.

not really got my head for 75 bucks ported my self got the manifold for it for 25 used all my parts off my car ran fine

[mozzandherb]

yea, if you install them and then bore/hone there shouldnt be any issues as long as there was enough press fit.

that's the route most people take with an open deck

[accordaremylife]

yeah i just when online lookt at the water jackit line and went all out i just timed it like a f22a1 it didnt pop or any thing i did this build with a f22b1 and a f23 head both workt fine when with the stock f22a1 walls its a 85 for the f22a1 and the f22b1 the f23 has a 87 wall but i didnt see any differents in running

The SOHC F series heads flow horribly. The F23 head is only marginally better than the F22B1 head. They are great for what Honda intended, but they're terrible for performance.

The H22 head flows well, though the F22A head can easily outflow it with modification.


There's nothing to gain from a headswap on an H or F series block.

Currently building an F22 ground up for boost. I've decided to run with an H22 head. Will any H22 head swap onto a CB7 F22 block? What should I know? I know I'm being very broad but I want to know what others have done. So far what I've read are mainly full H22 motor swaps, I'm only interested in doing a head swap because I have my block ready to go... Thanks!

PM me

want 340whp?
f22a1 block
f22a1 crank
f22a1 rods
f22a1 pistons (NEW)
new rings (measure rings)
new bearings

h22 head
h22 usdm cams
skunk 2 pro 1 intake mani
ebay t3/t4 w mini shitty ram manifold

at 14psi and a good tune, do it please

[deevergote]

That would be just as doable with the F22A head.

i still love u deev

still your dick will get sucked more when people see shit thats not supposed to be there, especially if its done right, and if it pulls like a bitch

[deevergote]

Yeah, I admit that the H22 head looks cooler... and that saying "I built that motor out of an F22A and an H22A" makes you sound pretty damn smart.

But it's not necessary if power is the goal.




Of course, you could take it a step further and say "if power is the goal... just buy a Mustang or Camaro with a V8!"

yea but then you'd get too many girls and we dont want that.

[deevergote]

I already have plenty... just no time for them!

Plus, to really make a V8 work for the ladies, I'd need a fake tan, spiked hair, and a popped collar.

Thank you all for the input. From everything I've gathered, if I port/polish and build up my F22a1 head correctly (I have a professional machinist working with me) it will flow just as well as, if not better than, an H22 head. This would avoid having the tuning issues from swapping heads, which doesn't sound like a bad thing. Ultimately from what I've researched this head wont have problems with 10+ psi and 300+ hp... I will research building the F22 head further... Any suggestions on places that specialize in SOHC head work? More aggressive cams, springs, etc?? Thanks!! (Got my HIDs in tonight so that will be tomorrow’s project!)

Thanks deev. Running with this advice... Less head ache later, with same power gains =
