FA22 DOHC Engine?

[Shadow91]

At the JY yesterday and came across a Prelude with a FA22 engine in it.. I've never heard or seen that engine before? Is it like a miss print or what?

[408cb7]

It must me a misprint, i have never heard of it either.

Did it look like a regular f22?

That's interesting. There was an engine block stamp thread on Honda-Tech but I can't seem to find it right now. The OP was trying to amass all the engine codes and their serial numbers that he could for informational purposes. This would be decent information to that thread if I could find it.

Looks like its been ground off and restamped.

[Shadow91]

It looked all stock.. But DOHC.

It was just dirty, the markes that made it look like there were grinding had came from me trying to get grease off to take the pic

[dj_ender]

Im with evil_demon on this one, looks ground and restamped. The serial number looks off too.

my shop has restamped a b18 to b16 for racing

[Shadow91]

So what, was it a H23 that someone wanted to make an F? That wouldnt make sense to me... ??

[illinois_erik]

maybe its a stolen H22 but apparently these guys have worked on one..

Could be an F22B that someone tried to restamp to F22A. maybe someone with an engine swap in CA that tried to restamp the engine to pass it off as the original engine?

I just wonder how you make a typo when stamping metal!

[Macaqueistrong]

Should have gotten a picture of the whole motor.

[mugencivic4dr]

i would say its a misprint or restamp, theres no other explination honestly

[Shadow91]

Yeah, i can always go back and get a pic of the whole engine.

[Jarrett]

See if it more resembles a DOHC F22B or the H23A1.

[Accrdwgnguy]

check the head code.

PT2 for F22B DOHC
P14 for H23A1
