f22b1 parts

[starchland]

Hey i aquired an f22b1, i think i can use the internal engine parts for f22a build?

[cp[mike]]

its my understanding that they used the same block and internals, but notice the qualifier. check part #s? id guess pistons would show up as PT3

[starchland]

yeah all the internal specs are the same according to our guide on the site.

[starchland]

ill check the EPC later on, anyone else have any hands on experience?

Cylinder heads are different, intake manifolds and exhaust manifolds are different. I'm pretty sure as well that the block is the same. I've worked on a F22b2 (nonvtec) and did a full timing belt/front engine seal job and replaced the cylinder head on it, etc. Anyhow, the block appeared the same in every manner.

I wouldn't use that f22b1 or b2 cylinder head, but a F22ax as it flows better and has the potential to flow even more, but you'd have to change ur intake mani and exh. mani.

ok thats what i thought. Well it will be good for me to tear down an engine and get some experience before i do an engine build. If i can use the block that would be awesome. The only thing wrong with this engine is the crank seal is leaking, i think cause its missing the retainer outlined in the tsb.

[cp[mike]]

tsb retainer is for the countershaft, the front balance shaft. not crank.

i didnt realize it before, but i have an f22bx piston sitting here (94 LX... f22b2?) its a PT3 (4g) rod and a P0A (5g) piston.

ok hmm well im not sure whats leaking i havent had time to look at it.

edit: ok it is the crank shaft seal.

[starchland]

well ive got f22b1 parts if anyone wants them lol

[heylookitsdylan]

lol, too bad im only keeping my F22B1 for a month or so longer. H22 FTW.

[starchland]

yeah the h22 swap is much more straight forward.

Why not get the experience and how things go together, tear it down. Heck, if anything you can rebuild the block as you can for a turbo build or for an all-motor build high compression and slap a head on later, etc. It's up to you, but I'd atleast tear it down if anything for the experience, you could always try then selling parts, but you won't get much.

yeah i do plan on tearing it down and rebuilding it.

[starchland]

well the part numbers for the block are different, Id really like to use this block for a build, can I still use it if the internal specs are the same?
