ty for the help guys...i did a couple more searches(never knew we had a search engine for the site)...im pretty sure that my 1993 honda accord 4dr lx automatic is a f22a4 sohc non-vtec...

also...anyone know if there is a different between the japanese imported accords and the ones made here in the usa?

The F22A4s were only in the 90-91 Accord EX and EX-R models. When you say your car was imported from Japan, do you mean you had it shipped over here or it was made in Japan and sold as an American model? Also, to make this all simpler, you have an engine code stamped on the black on the left side, right next to your transmission and right under the head. If you pop the hood you'll see it.

If you're really interested in learning more than anyone on here can teach you, get into import magazines, technical books on rebuilding engine, and any beneficial info off the web, etc.

I'm not ripping on ya, just giving advice. If you understand the engine layout better it will help, even better if you learn Honda engines specifically....just get an idea of 'em, not saying to be a pro.
