Oil pan Differences?

[MoDawG]

I just picked up another CB7, 92 Accord exr coupe 187k, original owner. They had the oil changed at the dealer and the numb nuts stripped the oil pan drain. Im looking at picking up a used one. I found a guy selling a whole f22a4 motor for 40 bucks but mine is an f22a6. Are they interchangeable?

[MR.PHIL]

yes they are

[Brandoncb7]

Everything on the F22A1, A4, and A6 motors is interchangeable among the three.

along with h23. dont forget those!

[XcluziveAZN]

get h23 pan. You don't need that *** rubber gasket. All you need is Honda Bond which make life more easier

I overheard from a previous member that the f-series oil pans were stronger than the h-series. Can someone shed some light on this? I'm in the process of pulling out my long block and rebuilding it.

[92smokeaccord]

i think they are the same except 4 baffels and stuff....

[wed3k]

if the h23 uses an aluminum oil pan liek the h22a4's then those are fucking garbage.

[noobcake]

aluminum pans hold more heat and are weaker.

Go buy yourself a $5 dollar oversized drain plug, that's what I did....the metal one not the rubber one

false. aluminum disapates heat faster than the stamped mild steel pans. later.

Gotta love mis-information.

The Aluminium oil pans are only found on the H22A4's and Certain JDM h22a OBD2 motors

The JDM H22's still come with stamped steel oil pans.

The aluminium pans are no weak, they will just crack rather than dent as the stamped steel ones would.

Take your car to a shop that does welding, like an auto body repair shop that also does mechanical work.

have them weld a 12mm internal diameter nut over the drain hole onto the outside of the pan while it is still on the car.

Put an m12 bolt in there. (thread the bolt over the nut, then put the assembled nut and bolt right in the pan and tighten it, then weld the nut *only* onto the car so the threads of the nut and the stripped drain hole are aligned correctly.)

It will never strip again, ever. And this will only cost you like $30-$50 for the whole job, and you don't need to drop the pan.

Alternately, buy a $25 Fram Sur-Drain center drain, and install it into the existing oil pan using liquid thread sealant. since the sure-drain (center drain) doesn't have to be removed to drain the oil, the seal will last a long long time (I had the same problem, and I installed a sure-drain using only teflon tape and it lasted me 4 years. I recently redid it with permatex liquid sealant and probably it will last longer than that)

Ah, then my oil pan is steel. Thank goodness for JDM goodness.
