Re: Turbo F22 build H22 rods 4g63 pistons low compression
I changed my oil today i found some shavings in my oil they where copper and the size of a period on your key board. I drained the oil threw a white t-shirt. I only found 5 of the flakes is this ok. the copper color is what scared me i have seen oil with a spun bearing it had millions of copper flakes.

I got problems i cut my oil filter open. I have a bearing problem i think. I checked everything 10X guess i missed something. Going to pull the oil pan a check the bearings. Oh yes the fun.

what crank pulley are you running? these engines NEED good dampning, like, at least a stock pulley. i would run an ATI or Fluidampr if you are having problems.
i'd put money on you hurt your main bearings (not rods, like an under-oiling situation). happened to me 3 times. got a fluidampr, and no problems anymore.
good luck man

Are you saying from the start or are you saying after the bearing failure. After the bearing failure it needs a new crank. i got a f22b1 that has 60K on it i am pulling it apart this week and throwing in the piston n rods. The f22b1 i know ran flawless when i took it out i could not blow it. I am also ordering a fluidampr

i figured out the Problem. My engine block was warped, the main journals needed to be line bored. I noticed when i decked the block the sleeves looked like they where shifted. then i honed the cylinders true. i thought that would make the block true. i never thought to check the straightness of the mains since the bearing clearances where good.what i did to check this lay a straight edge across the radius of the mains just as a crank would lay in the mains. i then checked to see if you could rock the straight edge and used a .001 filler gauge to check the gap from the straight edge to the main journal radius. also the straight edge is 1" wide

glad you figured it out!
i never build an engine that isnt perfect before disasembly anymore (bearing wise)...too many variables and what-if's.
at least it'll be a relatively cheap fix.

absolutely bolts right on.
make sure you dont need to add a oil-port-thinger (behind the middle rear head stud)...make sure its the same as the block you take the head off. the f22a1 head needs a restrictor in the block..and i think ALL f series do,but cant remember).
i had an a1 head on a b2 block a while back...and i think i bolted it right on...cant remember anything special.

anything less than a MINT stock pulley is NOW STUPID in my book! got a custom-offset Fluidampr, and NO MORE PROBLEM EVER...

If you didn't have bad luck you'd have none! lol.
Off topic.... I wound up just buying a rod bolt stretch gauge. I was going to use your idea about making one. I was going to use the bore gauge anvil and a dial gauge I have and the aluminum bracket I cut off my holset. If I had a good drill press it would have worked. Would have been one ghetto looking tool though. LOL.
I might still make it for ***** and giggles though.
Anyways good luck getting it back together!

Going with a H22 ATI Dampener. I think it will fit alot better than the other brands. Remeber this is a H2b Civic so i dont have alot of room

I have been looking into using ether an ATI or Fluidampner. On Summit racing.com there is one thing that caught my attention in the item description about the ATI street dampener.
here is the link;
Summitracing.com/ATI Super Street
5,800rpm??? I'm guessing that this must be a misprint. Anyone have any other specs on these? ATI lists a generic description for both the street & race. Doesn't say anything about RPM only that they are SFI 18.1 certified....
