Pilot bushing
 

Hey I bought a new flywheel from Honda and noticed that where the pilot bushing is supose to be, there is a grey piece of plastic. Are these what they use now? Because u can't just buy a pilot bushing for h22. I didn't see an answer in the FAQ

Re: Pilot bushing
 

there r no pilot bushing on our flywheels

Re: Pilot bushing
 

That's not what I've read

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Bushing???? Do you mean bearing?

Re: Pilot bushing
 

H23, H22, and F22s don't come with bushing. Trust me, I've done F22s and H22s.

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Yea so have I. Not stock flywheels though. My aftermarket fidanza flywheel uses a pilot bearing. But the stock does not. What does it use then? Nothing at all? Hard to believe but please inform me

Bump

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Are you sure you got the right flywheel. I have a findaza flywheel and there is no pilot bearing on my flywheel

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Sigh. I bought a H22a flywheel from HONDA. I am taking out my 8lb fidanza flywheel which DOES use a pilot BEARING. I am putting in the new OEM flywheel from honda which does NOT use a pilot bearing. I am asking to make sure the flywheel from honda does not use anything at all. I Just put it on? No bushing, correct?

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Man your ignorant. Lol

There is no damn pilot bearing!

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Sigh. Fidanza flywheel require a pilot bearing but that is not my question so drop it.

Re: Pilot bushing
 

What do you mean there is no pilot bearing/bushing? My stock h23 flywheel has a brass pilot bushing and my aftermarket clutchmasters flywheel came with a pilot bearing. Some do have them. For the ones that don't, maybe they failed, fell out, or no one ever installed them.

Re: Pilot bushing
 

Thank you! The problem I am having is that my NEW OEM flywheel from Honda for an OBDI H22A does not have the pilot bushing on it. All it has is a grey peice of plastic that I can NOT remove.

Re: Pilot bushing
 

I see now, yes that brass bushing should be there. But, thats different from a Civic/Teg's pilot bushing. Thats what we thought you're talking about for a min. Lol.

You don't need to install anything, just slap it on and go. It should already come with one from factory.

Update: Ok guys I went back and looked at the OEM Flywheel, and it does infact have the pilot BUSHING installed.

Here are some reference pics showing a oem honda H22A flywheel with a pilot BUSHING, and then a aftermarket Fidanza 8lb H22A flywheel with a pilot BEARING

I know this is an old thread but I have the same question sort of.
I have a F22b1 engine that is shot. I bought an F23a from jdm-Orlando and the guy there said the only thing I needed would be a pilot bushing...ofcourse I'm not doing the work a Honda mechanic is and I'm sure he will know but just wanted to ask if I need to go buy one?
