i just got my motor today and i was wondering if there were some obvious markings or numbers that i can use to verify that its a jdm h22?Thanks in adavance

 

should just say h22a

 

if you take off the head, it will be closed deck

but yeah, the engine code will be h22a

there will be no number after that

 

^^there are closed deck usdm motors.....

if you dont know, dont offer advice.

as stated before the engine code will only read h22a, it it says h22a1 or h22a4 it is a usdm motor.

all h22's that are obd 1 are closed deck and obd2 are open

 

is there somewhere online you can go to decypher the serial number on the block to see what year is was manufactured in?

ooooooooooo

well sorry. didn't realize usdm obd1 were closed deck too...........BUT i also stated there will be no number after the h22a so i'm still right

 

ya you were correct on the h22a part...but other than that you had no idea what you were talking about so the thread really didnt need your false information

edit: found this pic too

yeah...there is a number below the engine code on my JDM block...what is this number for?

 

serial number

 

Does anyone have any pics of a closed deck vs. open deck. I always read about the two on here but have never seen any pics of it. Edumacate me please

 

Here is a pic of the Block numbers off the engine, that little oval after the "A" is Hmotorsonline stamp which looks like this...(HMO)

i dont have a pic, but when looking down on the short block, there are open circles around the sleeves of an open deck, one a closed deck, there is aluminum filling those spaces...

 

what are the advantages/disadvantages of a closed deck?

 

open deck:


closed deck:

the middle circle is the date, the two numbers on either side of the arrow are the year made, it looks like that says 92, remember the motors are made usually a year before the year of the car, so a 92 motor would most likely be a 93, for example, my h22a says 91, since h22s werent made in the us til 93 or japan til 92, 91 motor was from a 92 prelude....i believe the arrow points to the month but cant see clearly in the pic and cant remember what mine says

1 quick thing on the jdm motors that catch the eye is the oil cap will say HULE instead of oil
