Ease of changing synchro
How hard is it to change the synchros out in the H22 tranny. My third gear is good. I am just a novice. I pulled my engine out for the very first time last week following my Helms manual. Will it be as "easy" to change my third gear synchro or should I give it to a "professional"?

If you have never seen the inside of a transmission which I'm assuming you haven't (novice) I wouldn't try replacing it. Take it to somebody but shop around before doing so.

If you have the helms manual and you follow it CAREFULLY then no, it's not that hard at all. I've installed a few LSD's in B series transmissions and I usually change the syncros while I'm in there.
One BIG thing to be carefull of is the main shaft end bearing. It likes to stay in the transmission case when it is removed and then fall out of the case when its over some nice hard surface (such as the garage floor) and grenade itself. Trust me, its no fun having to chase down 18 little ball bearings, clean them, and get the damn things back together.
Also, you REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to put the main shaft bearing back into the case backwards. You can guess how I know THAT little pearl of wisdom. Honda has not idiot proofed this part and I'm an idiot.
Like I said though, study the helms, (Particularly the diagrams explaining the orientation of the bearings and syncros) and you will be fine (And save yourself a **** load of money)
