F22A1 Blown HG. Easy swap stuff to put on while the head is off?

[StukThrtl]

HG pushing combustion into the cooling system. Going to grab a good head to put on since i need to get this done in a weekend. I have a 93LX with the F22a1. Just wondering what easy parts i can swap for this motor that i can pull off the donor while i'm at the jy. Definitely be doing the A6 intake swap since i'll have that stuff off anyways. How about the head? Be doing this in the next couple days, so i dont have much time to research as i know this probably comes up alot.

Thanks
Shawn

get a intake heatshield gasket thingie
rear motor mount inserts?

[StukThrtl]

Not worried about motor mount inserts. Heat shield for the intake manifold "thingy"?

Welp, pulled the head and took it to the machine shop and the head is cracked, so i'm doing the F22b1 swap on it. Getting just about all the stuff for $120 and i can trust that the head was fine when he pulled it of cause it's a local guy on our board who is trustworthy.

f22a6 head and intake manifold ownz f22a1 head and manifold. Make sure you get the f22a6 ecu too.

I heard the f22b head doesn't help any(power adder that is) and wiring vtec to work right is a pain.

im sure he meant the JDM DOHC f22b or h23 head....forget that 5th gen head....more work than gains

yup...someday I'm gonna build a motor with a h23 head and intake mani swap...


Edit: Btw, how did your dyno come out?

[accordztech]

water pump timming belt...might as well. rear cooling hoses that are super soft or super hard should be changed too cause those are the hardest to get

I'm putting a SOHC Vtec F22b1 in it. Head and everything are already off the car and i'll have the parts tomorrow.. not that much work really. just time consuming
