No, you need an H22 Valve.

Hondapartsdeals.com
Intake valve - 14711-P13-000 - $18.01/each
Exhaust valve - 14721-P13-000 - 27.19/each

or you could try pricing them at your local Honda dealership.

Why are you doing this swap in the first place?

[accords 4 life]

it just a thing im trying out

[deevergote]

It won't get you much but an unreliable motor. You'll have a hybrid motor with low compression and a low redline, not to mention the combustion chambers are not the same size as the block's bores, so there will be an overlap. It has been done, successfully on a rare occasion... most I know of have blown up.

[GhostAccord]

Come on Deeve, all you have to do is mill the head .030, bore the block to 86mm and run some OEM K20 pistons (rotated 180&#176 on a set of OEM H22 rods. Then you wouldn't have as much overlap and you would be around 11.5-12:1 compression....

For that amount of work, I'll just buy an H22! It was assembled by people that actually know what they're doing building a motor, unlike me... who would miss something small that would result in total failure...

That's the thing with headswaps... in the hands of a beginner, they're a disaster waiting to happen. In the hands of an experienced engine builder, they are a calculated risk at worst.

However, anyone that says "how do i put a h22 head on my f22a block?" is PROBABLY not capable of taking on that build as a calculated risk. Even with step-by-step instructions, there are things involved that require engine building experience to understand.




If you want to do a headswap... try assembling a completely stock engine FIRST.

my first timing belt was on my h23 headswap. it took me quite a few times to get it running correctly especially since i had to jockey between belts.
im suprised i didnt bend any valves.
