I have a 93 vtec. I just bought a head (complete) off a 99 base. Is it truly as simple as I think? Or are there any real differences between the H22a-1 and the H22a-4? I figured I'd need a new head-gasket and that's it.

 

I don't know of anything preventing you from bolting it up.

 

exact same....it in theory is simple, but as usual there will be something in the way of progress...

 

It's simple. Do it. Now.

 

If you've done a straight head swap before, don't worry.

hahaha yeah, something always comes along to **** things up

well...if it's the same head, I don't see why this won't work...

 

Yeah there's always that danm nut or bolt tat won't come out.

 

other than the electronics being obd2 there is no complication. you will need to switch over obd1 parts, ie injectors, complete wiring harness, possibly EGR stuff.. dizzy

 

Um, hopefully the bolts will not break on you... The Cam Plate Holder Bolts that is... I've had like 5 bolts broken just trying to put mine back on...

I'd replace them though if I was you... :/

I dunno if anyone else has had this problem though..

cam plate holder?

are you talking about the plate that bolts on top of the cam caps? if you have broken bolts either putting them in or taking them out , someone over torqued them , i have taken my head off numberous times and haven't broken one
