Re: h2b reliability (702egsi)
No issues that I am aware of. The trans is located in a stock position, which puts the axles in the stock position. I have had mine running for about a month now. Finished the swap, worked out a few bugs, and damn does the car pull.

Regarding axles, you must ensure that the driver's side axle, including the boot clamp, doesn't hit anything.
When I bought my H2B-swapped Del Sol, not enough of the oil pan and block was ground down, so the clamp was missing from the boot (I'm sure because it snapped from hitting the block).
But once it's ground down far enough, you should be good to go.

Re: HPI247 (ThA5oLuTiOn)
The axle was also my only problem. I thought I shaved enough while the motor was out, but come to find out, I did not and my axle boot was ripped. Just had to get back under there and shave some more. Shaving the block is not something that should sway you away from h2b.

The Evolution Industries kit has timing marks on the flywheel just like a stock flywheel, so that you can check timing just like stock.

that's fine, but as they wear, those cylinders in those blocks make for some eventual big *** ring vs. bore differential and they literally drink oil.
ask any honda technician who's been at honda for over 10 years....
i know they used FRM for other high performance hondas, but in the long run, it's proven to cause oil consumption.
i'm used to having engines for atleast 4-5 years (my sohc for sale case in point) so i really take a look at the long-term.

My H22A was a jdm 1992 motor and I ragged it on constantly. After 3,000 miles I was anywhere from full to 0.5qt low. Not a big deal and I'm sure you could drive the motor for 4-5 years with no problems... It's still just a stock engine in the end.

stupidest thing i have ever heard.... maybe your motor had fucked up rings because i've driven H for years with no problems with oil consumption. what a bunch of garbage...... how many "miles on them" are you talking about 300,000?? because all the beat JDM ones i've run never seem to have oil consumtion problems. and those are put through hell.. and any motor at an extreme high mileage will burn oil.. just stop talking because you are giving me a headache with all of your false info..

are you on crack? you CAN'T be serious here....
the guy above you just said his h22 eats oil with 35k, crackhead...
let's see, let's pick one link from google...ok, this one-
http://www.preludepower.com/fo....html
i'll tell the local head honda technician that he's lying about his experiences with h22 and oil consumption; what would he know, he's only been working with the h22 since it debuted.

oh and im supposed to believe everything i read on honda-tech right?? so because this guy said his motor burns oil that means it does. and a link on the internet says so it must be true..............and a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who worked at honda and invented vtec said it right??? whatever..

Re: h2b reliability (h22crxpwr)
and you with all of your D series experience know all about H and probably everything to do with hondas right?? i've seen B series drink oil too. does that mean that all of them do. no it probably means that they have very high mileage with hardly any oil changes or maintenance on a beat on motor and have killed the rings. just like any other motor. now if it happened on motors with low mileage then i would say there is a problem... and no just because some guy said his only has 35,000 miles and burns oil that doesnt mean **** to me.

Re: h2b reliability (builthatch)
we are the few who maintain there honda's.
most people drive it like they stole it, no maintenance, and rarely ever check oil level.
honda's do not need maintenance lol
worst i have seen from a h22a4 is the auto tensioner, but that guy was running from the cops at high speeds.
