they are the bastard child of b-series. Nothing is interchangeable with the other b-series

They also won't bolt into anything (but an old Prelude, that is) without alot of cutting and welding.

There a pretty good motor just wear out their sleeves. They also share cam gears with the other b's but that's all. Oh yeah there tilted backwards that's why there mounts are different from the other b's..

Oh yeah V-tec conversions are possible just don't give a whole lotta gains for how much extra work it is.

It's the b21's that wear their sleeves out. They used the FRM sleeves to make the bigger bore possible.
I wouldn't waste my time on the b20 unless I had an old lude and some strange attraction to it (which I do ). But the h22 comes first.
