Where to Find JDM F20B DOHC Pistons

[carldomino]

I'm looking for the 85mm OEM pistons for the above. Can any one help?
I've looked everywhere for this things... Unfortunately came up short

No dice... Just tried the link and it lead to a dead end

http://www.hmotorsonline.com here it is. I have emailed them and they answer within a week or so, which is good compared to other JDM engine places were they don't answer at all. I have only heard good things about Hmotors online... word-of-mouth is the best advertisement.

I love people that try to help, but their inability to effectively use a keyboard results in everyone else wasting their time.

HMO (hmotorsonline.com) is a great company, though I strongly suggest calling, rather than emailing. Steve isn't good about answering emails, usually.

The thing is, the F20B was never sold in the US, so obviously, you aren't going to find replacement pistons for it here. That's yet another reason the H22A is a far better choice (but people have to be "different", I suppose )
While my initial answer may seem rude, it's the truth. You'll find the pistons you need in Japan. You'll either have to contact someone over there, or go through an importer like HMO, and pay their markup fee (they're not going to get your pistons for you for free!)

Other options would be to contact a piston company and have a custom set made, or visit a machine shop and see what it would take to fit available pistons into that engine (likely boring the stock sleeves... too much can weaken the block, though.)

Hmm. Fascinating. I will try to contact them. Also I'm only looking for these pistons because there is a guy selling me a complete F20b motor but one of the OEM pistons got chipped (?) He said he will give me a brand new set of turbo pistons for it though but that won't help me since I'm trying to go the N/A route. I think I might pass up on this and start looking for a H22a instead.

Here is the link to buy the pistons in the US, I little research goes a long way... http://store.autodynamics-honda.com/jdmhopcbsipi.html no only did I found the pistons, but the rings, bearing for rods and crankshaft...

Oh and all this stuff is OEM... FTW!

[Accord problems]

not to jack op thread but are the jdm f20b piston and jdm f22a piston the same ?

Look up the bore and stroke of the two engines, and you'll likely answer your own question.


Also, if a piston is damaged, it's highly likely that other damage has occurred inside the engine. You'd need more than just pistons... and I'd worry that an engine with a "chipped piston" wasn't cared for very well. Unless it's a free engine, I'd stay away.



As for the pistons found in that shop, that's why I meant by an importer. You cannot order F20B pistons from Honda in the US, to my knowledge. Therefore, someone has to import them from Japan, or another country where the F20B was available. They will mark the parts up for their own profit/

accord problems, they're the same bore, and the're the perfect piston to build a high comp F block, on a h22 head compression numbers get to 11.7-11.8
so on a f22 head comp will be around 12-12.1
