hey there, fellas. looked through the site and you guys seem to know your vehicles inside and out. i got a 95 5 speed Accord EX with an f22b1 SOHC VTEC in it. put a CAI and exhaust on her, and she runs beautifully for now. question is this - could i take off the SOHC head and put on the DOHC head from an H22a1? i've seen the fellow here - https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=776837 - who did a similar swap, only using an f22b2 block instead of the f22b1. wondering if its possible with the b1, as well. yes, i know i'd have to change the timing belt equip. and whatnot as well, saving up for it right now, i would just like to know if it could be done.

any help would be greatly appreciatted.

Yes. b1 and b2 bottom ends are the same. The heads are just different.

yep thats right, the only thing different is the head, you should make a pot in my thread if you actaully get into doing the f22/h22 thing

 

thanks a bunch fellas. now, all i gotta do is break it to my dad that we're gonna have a fun project this spring...

 

rather then saying you would have a "fun" summer, I would say you will have a "sinful" summer after you say God Damn about 50 million times!!!

 

oh snap, just remembered what else i wanted to ask. the pistons for my f22b1, would they still work with the h22 head, since the original was a SOHC, and the new one's DOHC, would i still be cool? i dunno.

 

although ive never built one of these i dont see why the pistons wouldnt work

I think that the cutouts for valve clearance are different--it does have two more valves...
