[godsider]

I was seeking to find this answer for a very long time now and no one seems to know the correct answer im looking for everyone is unsure, Well my question is, If i put an JDM H22 head On a H23 block what would be the out come, as in pros and cons>? Also the most important question of mine is how high could you safely rev it too? I was told 6800 max but thats kinda lame compared to what im use to (7600-7800) i would love to rev it to 7600 but not sure on the safeness of that. please help me solve this for everone once and for all!

7k possibly... but h23s are bad about rod bearings from what i understand..

That swap is getting pretty common. Just remember to change the rod bearings to be able to take the 8k reving. With that swap you have the best of both worlds... Lots of low end tq and topend too! It doesn't make as much power as a h22 but trust me when I tell you its every bit as quick. With my h23 prelude I could pull on every stock/lightly modded h22 prelude or accord all the way up to about 80. I can imagine what h23/22 is like.

if i'm not mistaken aren't the blocks the same? just the rods/pistons different?

[koolkoreanked]

yeah same block. just difference crank/rod/pistons, no oil squirter and of course the different head.
