H2B / F2B FAQ

[Bense]

you will need to machine the crank pulley but just remove the balance shaft entirely and get the washer from mcmaster-carr

how much porting? what are you talking about?


The reason this is considered to be the future in opposition to the K swap IS that it's so much cheaper and very fast cars can be made with this combination.

Kseries will always dominate H series in power and speed contests, but H is so much cheaper!

Went down to my local Napa today, and after a few minutes of searching I found a suitable upper radiator hose for my H2B in my Del Sol.

The Napa part number is 8325, and it was about $15.

Here's what it looks like right from the store:



You can see my mockup wire next to it in the photo above. I determined where to cut it and then sliced it with a razorblade, resulting in this:



Here you can see it just held in the bay:



And here's the final result:





Fitment is perfect once it's cut. And it's way better then the ghetto crap that I had in my car before.

that looks like my hose that I cut. it was a 98 accord upper if I remember right

[Bense]

thanks for that hose addition

Did anyone else have trouble finding a 32" inch 3-rib alternator belt?

[HondaCivicSiR1]

how about this instead of being lazy and asking someone to think for you,why don't you actually try looking for your answer.

the spacer is too close to the center to accurately set ignition timing.

just curious on how you figured that? a timming light doesn't care how close the markings are to the center of rotation....

[88ED8]

me personally... would make a pointer and make my own timming marks on the crank pulley with the use of a 360* dial template thing

[skunked]

I just marked the crank pulley like a Bseries is done.

[88ED8]

^^ did you make a pointer? take a pic so I can see how it looks

True. Ever pull timing off the cam gears?

Our spacer only marks TDC, no 16 Degree mark. You need to use a timing light with advance/retard to set ignition.

The H-series design of looking through that little window little peak has always been difficult.

We do like Skunk does... just set it to TDC and make three marks. One on the crank pulley, another close to the pulley on your block, and another line higher up, inline with the block mark to level your view. Scribe your marks and mark them with a Sharpie. When it wears away, just color the scribe again when you need to use it.

[88ED8]

and my spacer doesn't have a mark on it.... QSD should hook me up wink wink

[Bserious]

Well that sucks!

If it's one of our spacers and the timing line is missing, send that sh*t back and we'll get you one that does.

I do take it upon myself personal, me (Seth), to assure certain features are correct per component. But I am only human.

[88ED8]

now thats some coustomer service

[Bserious]

If you can live with it and mark your own line, where ever that may be, use it and wait until the next time you pull it apart. We'll replace any missing the line, whenever that it may be discovered.

This would be the first. I almost want yours just to freesbie through it (literally) at my machinist.

[hondaZvic]

hahahaha... take it out! send it back!!

top notch customer service

With the amount of time and effort you have invested in your project already, I am sure it's nothing.

I pray that engine bay is gonna get painted. So when you pull the combo then pull the old switcheroo and its back together before you ever start rewiring and plumbing lines.

Most are using a D-series alternator. Does the D crank pulley work??? HMMM

The back of the block still has to be ground.

Read this thread:

[skunked]

never seen a D crank pulley used on the H/F crank. Some guys are using the narrower D series alternator pulley on the H series alternator though.

all you have to do is bore the d series crank pulley "i did mine on cnc"
