I RECENTLY REMOVED AN H22 FROM MY PRELUDE AND REPLACED IT WITH AN H23 NON VTEC (LONG STORY). I HAD TO REMOVE THE HEAD ON THE H23 TO REPLACE THE GASKET (WAS BAD WHEN I GOT IT). I AM NOW STUCK WITH OUT A NONRUNNING CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE TORQUE SPECS FOR THE CAM SHAFT HOLD DOWNS ON THIS H23 MOTOR. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA THE INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICATED.

ALSO IF NE ONE KNOWS OF WHERE I CAN GET AN EMMISIONS DIAGRAM OF ALL THE VACCUM LINES THAT HAVE TO BE RECONNECETD ON THIS MOTOR THAT WOULD ALSO BE ALOT OF HELP

THANKS TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP

 

Torque specs are 7 ft.lbs. all of them except 4 of them are at 9 ft.lbs. The 4 at 9 ftlbs. are the 2 pairs that just outside of the inner two pairs.

That's probably confusing as hell. Anyways the inside pairs (intake and exhaust) are 7 ft.lbs., THe next pairs outside of those are 9 ft. lbs, then the rest are 7 ftlbs. (one more pair on the right, two more on the left/passenger side).

 

Thanks so much man you don't know how much you just helped me out!!

 

I thought it was all of them were about 14 ft'lb's while the smaller outer ones were 7 ft'lb's....?

I don't know for sure w/o my manual in front of me, though.

 

H22 Heads are 19 and 9 ft.lbs, maybe that's what you're thinking of. H23's are a little lower at 9 & 7 ft.lbs. Straight out of the Helms Manual.
