F22 Head On H22 Block?

[turbo90accord]

Has anyone done or know if this can be done and what needs to be done to the h block to be adapted for the f22a head.

[NAiL05]

No and dunno why you would do that. Never know might find some untouched territory.

[turbo90accord]

im only going to be using the block. will be using all f22 internals and f22 head because i want to stay single cam. only advantage and why i want to use the h22 block is to
utilize the solid deck block.

Not gonna work. F pistons wont work in an H block without sleeving the H block, completely negating..every possible advantage you think youve come up with.

he could get mahle(SP) gold piston for the H23.

same bore as an h22
hooks up to f22 rods(cause there the same)
and you don't have to resleeve

but you'd still have to deal with oil drainage and other stuff to get the head to work on that block

[Dep22build]

i say go for it keep in mind just the oil drains would have to be lined up but also the a6 head is one of the best flowing heads

[cp[mike]]

what would be the point? isnt the F block stronger anyway?

[Boost_Lee]

i was thinkin the same...

[NAiL05]

exactly...IMO its pointless but then people have been wanteing to do wierd franks for some reason. And as already mentioned F series pistons DO NOT fit in the H block research should net you that result. 85mm vs 87mm bore.

[Dep22build]

he can make it work if he wanted too guys let him be different if he wants to

[Boost_Lee]

of course he can make it work...just a little more work to be done

Actually, I've thought about doing something similar and sticking it in a civic or my accord. A buddy of mine has a JDM H22 bottom end in good shape (for cheap), but the head is gone. I have several heads to choose from to stick on them, but none of them an h22 (I have an f22 when I get mine out, f23Vtec, and h23). They all should fit (h23 head should be direct drop on) and will net about 11:1 compression. It should make good power, rev well, and make for a cheap thrill.

[Gettin_faster91]

I has this same though actually. Id leave the H22 block stock don't swap f parts into it. But rework the f22 head to handle higher rpm's, with a good cam and springs and you know the bottom end can already handle 8k rpm. Go for it man see what happens. You might surprise allot of people. I'm willing to bet the low end would suck but up high she should move!

[preludeman92]

Eh, only if I can get that block for a song wouldn't I even consider it. I've got enough going on right now. Besides, my other build will beat the crap out of this one. I like to have my accord run on regular anyways... I drive 600+ miles a week. I don't need to pay for premium in that. My prelude has gotten 5000 miles on it since I bought my accord, so premium doesn't bother me in that car.

Its not a dumb question as most would thing. I've also done the thinking about it. Its just the H22 block that was made to rev high and a sohc head that can rev high. So essentially you will be making a sohc h22.

You might have to do everything in reverse.
use :

f22 lower timing gear
f22 timing belt
f22 water pump
