H23 non vtec camshaft on f22a1

[Darius.27]

I just wanted to know if a h23 non vtec camshaft would be compatible with an f22a1. If so would there be any decent improvement over the stock f22a1 camshaft or would I just be better off buying a "name brand"?

I seen them for sale on ebay and I just need to know if it would worth it to buy them. Note that I'm also planning on doing the f22a1 to H23 intake manifold swap in the future.

h23 is a dohc engine and the f22 is a sohc, so even if it did fit it would only run half the valves

Not a chance

That is a dual overhead cam engine

Your 1 cam has twice as many lobes as a cam from one of those engines to operate both intake and exhaust valves where as in a dohc engine the cams have less lobes because each cam only operates either intake or exhaust valves

no

That's what this section is for!

It's one thing to ask a question because you're too lazy to bother looking for the answer yourself (like "wut engin can i put in muh car?") but it's another thing to really not know something... in that case, it's only right to ask. To someone with experience, it's obvious, but to someone new, the answer may not be easy to find. I can tell you now, you wouldn't have found the answer to this question by searching (now, the next guy will!) It's DEFINITELY a beginner question... but that's why there's a Beginner forum!
