Default How do I know if its a H22A?

When I bought my 1990 Acura Integra LS, I noticed that it is eceptionally fast compared to most cars I drove. When I looked under the hood about a month ago, I saw that the engine was marked H22A. I was told that is a 200 hp Prelude engine. I need to know how can I tell? Is there a particular marking within eyes view on the engine that would state whether it really is a H22A?

It could be a H22a with a shaved valve cover.

Didn't you check the motor before you bought it??
And what the heck is with this 1/8th mile crap...at least when I talk about my WRX I say, "Oh yeah, it's ok...it runs 12.60 with bolt ons..."

Do you have any pics? Look for the Engine stamp too. That is down under the Upper Rad hose, under Timming inspection plate, to the left of the header. if you have pics the post them

Canuck...The closest track to me right now is Irwindale 1/8th mile. I haven't had the chance to run it at a 1/4 mile track. When I do...then the times will change
