thanks. its a 2.2l? still unsure if i have an h22 or h23

 

2.2 is an h22

 

If you look on the upper left side of the block its stamped with the engine code

 

what is your chassis code...i.e. the 4th 5th and 6th number of the vin...either BB1, BB2 or BA8

 

ba8. im pretty sure tahnks all your input. its an h22. thanks again

 

BA8? It's a '92 then correct? ((If it's USDM))
Unless you have a Non-USDM Spec Prelude, that engine is not stock..

 

2.2 is also a SOHC F22A1

the BA8 chassis code corresponds to the Prelude S that comes with the SOHC F22A1 2.2L. However i would still check the code on the engine because there is a good possibility that there could be a swap in there.

 

OP: does it say DOHC VTEC on the top of the engine??

 

heh heh, mine sais h23A only :D

 

actually its a '96 prelude s.

 

meaning it would be an f22a unless its swaped

 

Really?? It's a '96? I didn't know the BA8 lasted that long in the States..

 

96 s is s sohc bud. prelude vtec only had the h22s. si had the h23 like mine. Haha i'm a prooud owner of an si hybrid though. sporting an f22b from an accord lx til my h22 is ready.
