Raf99 : 1993 Accord EX

[Straight Success]

This thread and your progress is the reason I find myself randomly searching for another clean shell to build.

[Raf99]

Thanks. I always debated on what to do with the valve cover. Thought one day I'd just meet some amazing spray brush artist and boom. Meh.
Blocks been painted for a while now, more than a year. And easy too. Even now if there's a spot scratched or paint chip I just give it a spray/squirt. There's no shine, so it just blends in again. But ya, buy the VHT high temp paint too obviously (engine paint hi-temp grey).

Nice. I switched to a cloth-style electrical tape when I was messing with my harness as well. Not only is it nicer to work with from a 'feeling' standpoint, but it looks a lot nicer too, imo. How long has your block been painted? I was considering painting mine during the build, but was worried about it flaking off over time and looking worse than if I had just left it alone. That is a beautiful engine assembly; the matching valve cover is a nice touch, too.

[Raf99]

Thanks to Jacob for coming over and man-handling this beast into the car. Always a tight squeeze even with the IACV and crank pulley off, and if you don't have it at the right angle it gets stuck Always end up bending the piece up by the firewall too, luckily it's easy to bend back.

[Raf99]

Well can't have the valve cover looking like this....


Clean it up a bit. Always wanted to do a cool design on the valve cover but they always come off as cheesy..


I now buy the ... velco type electrical tape for all my wires. Use it where I can to replace the gross sticky goo old electric tape..(dam i hate that stuff)





There's no easy way to make this mess pretty, but it's pretty organized.


Ready to go back in..

[Raf99]

Soooo..... ya. The pulley wheel (outside) tooth count is different, but the inside blade count is the same. But a different shape, & obviously with a smaller outside wheel (less teeth) it would spin faster. Not sure why the h22 engine would have different sizes / speed of water pumps...... anywho...

H22 Small pulley (20 tooth)

Different design blades / 7 blades


H22A Large pulley (26 tooth)




Mine = OEM. Prob good thing I replaced it


The 20 tooth one was listed as:
Honda 19200-P14-A01
Water Pump (Yamada)
1992-1996 Honda Prelude 19200P14A01 (but it's for the H22A1 or maybe H23)
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...0-P14-A01.html

The 26th tooth one was listed as:
Honda 19200-P13-003
https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...0-P13-000.html

But I can see the confusion. When you look up H22 it always gives you the first 20 tooth part.

back to Sally...
I did get the water pump replaced and all parts installed, some lock tight and bolts torqued.



Water pump missing part.... glad it's fixed.





I even got the transmission back on...


This was the easiest I've ever done it. A block at the base just the right height so it centers up. Use the jack and wood to tilt it up and in. Lift with arms if needed. Slid right in!



I always question the tightness...

And finally got the right part. 26 teeth vs. the smaller 20 tooth one. Believe I have all the parts now and can put Sally back together again

What is this about the water pump tooth?

I been fighting a over heating issue for the longest time.
I want to believe it has something to do with the pump now too, after reading your post about the 20 tooth vs 26 tooth.

What are the part numbers, and what makes them different ?

I am using a manual tensioner conversion for my kit.

[Raf99]

Not sure, from what I could tell it was a JDM vs. USD thing. (H22A vs. H22).

Got this from a friend the other day, with pigtails! Thanks Jacob! Sally has 368,000km and this cluster is 324,000km, kind of close!

[CyborgGT]

Do you know if it was an H22A1 vs A4 discrepancy, or what?

[Raf99]

Thank . Water pump arrived, buuut wrong part. Didn't know H22s had different size wheels on the pumps. Anyways, ordered another....

[SSMAccord]

Good job cleaning up that bolt and getting this back together.

[Raf99]

OK. So wrote guy on ebay who was selling a block that had this bolt, got him to sell me said bolt. This is the last bolt of this kind for sale on all of earth. ha....



Clean it up


It goes here... and like CyborgGT said the bearing doesn't even touch this thing.. but I can see how it's a fail safe too.



Make sure to use the proper balance shafts bearing. New one is the green one. I thought there was some interference here but nope.... all good. Just waiting on a water pump and I'll put this all back together. The current water pump has a broken corner "nut" and it accepts a bolt which holds the plastic cover on. Always annoyed me that it was broke.

the manual tensioner pulley is larger diameter than the automatic one. as long as its still within its adjustment range after the belt is set in place, nothing to worry about! just less leeway/play for actually getting it installed.

which timing bolt in particular are you referring to? that is no longer available?

90016-P5M-000 - Honda tensioner bolt .
