I don't doubt its existence. He definitely is like from New Zealand or one of those other countries that seem to carry the oddballs. I have seen pics of H22B's,C's and I think "Z's". And plenty of other wierd Honda engine codes. Its definitely something from the Eastern Hemisphere, just not sure where exactly.
Check this link out. I have no idea what language it is, but that engine is listed.
In New Zealand and Australia, there are H22B/C/Z replacement blocks... They're not original, but blocks used when someone damages their original block.
It's possible that a 2.0L F series replacement block gets an H stamp on it. I don't believe Honda ever actually MADE a 2.0L H series. Hell, the H22 was originally designed for the NSX! They wouldn't do that...

In the cases of the replacement blocks, the subletter is the one that gets replaced. In one of the Prelude years, the block had a serious defect that caused them to blow prematurely (this happenned in Austrailia). They were replaced with the H22B/C/Z's. AFAIK, the subletter is what determines the block's design. Z and Y are racing bottom ends. B and C have to do with the balance of the bottom ends. I had the list on how to decipher Honda engine stamps, somewhere... When I find it I will post it.
The F and H have proven to be interchangable in Honda's engine names. We already know about the S2K's F20C and F22C not being related to anything Accord/Prelude. As well as the JDM F22b replacing the USDM H23A1. And lets not forget the F20B. Its very well possible that the H20 came stock in some Accords and Preludes in place of the F20/F22's in one of the foriegn countries. I also would think that the engine was not a direct copy of the F20.
On a side note isnt the DOHC F20's full stamp F20A4? As in Burleigh's old motor? (I could be mistaken)
