So My h23 block blew, so i had to swap in a F22a4 for the mean time so i can drive it around, I heard that the F series and the H series are interchangable, So I did that, I have the h23 Intake manifold on the a4 and the alternator etc.. But I tried putting the h23 belt for alternator because the alternator is from the h23. But it is too loose... the i tried the f22 one, and it was loose? Is it the H23 Bracket that could be the problem? do i need the F alternator bracket? because it might extend out further..?>

IN other Words, Are all the H23a1 parts interchangable with the F22a4 SOHC, I hear it is, but The alternator is confusing me....

buy a new belt.
use a piece of rope/twine/string to measure the length. get one same length at auto parts store.
install.

Well i got a new one at the auto store for a f22, but it was too long? Do they have different sizes?

prelude_h22vtec

don't worry about an engine specific belt. just get one the same style that is the length you need.

I sure hope so, SO measure it with a rope and then take it to the autostore. okay.. I'll try tat.. but do you know which specific spark plugs go where?

Yes, you may get a funny look, but it will work. make sure the rope is the right length.
And do you mean you mean spark plug wires? You can do a search for firing order pretty easily. I recommend buying a Factory Repair Manual if you plan on doing much work to this car.
