they are from the old school accords. 86-89(a20a) are a sohc 12valve motor that is carb. then the other is a20a3. that year is 88-89. those a20a3 are fuel injected.

and just because the sleevs are iron dosent mean it will hold more boost
thats a SOHC motor, butting a b sreies head on isnt gonna work.

yep, that should definitly show you the problem areas.
i reckon you will find that the head is wider than the block, and the oil return holes will be outside the block oil return passages...
i wonder if the head bolt holes will match up?
my guess is is that they wont.

Even if they do fit where are you going to get a timing belt that'll work?
Keep us posted. I'm actually interested in this.
