Default SPEC INFO NEEDED

I posted RE spec info about three weeks ago- never checked, and I think responses got buried. Still need the info.

Finished the restoration on brakes/suspension on my 1994 Accord. All that's left is the engine/head and clutch. We just bought another home (extended shop area!!), and when we get moved in I will be pulling the block to rebuild.

I have every single part/work researched (valvetrain/cam/porting/header/TB porting/rods/clutch/flywheel/exhaust setup/etc) except the pistons. I am rebuilding the F22B2 block for a slightly upgraded daily driver and will be using JE custom pistons with shot-peened/balance OEM rods and have the crank balanced.

I have the Helms Honda manual, but not all the specs needed to run a compression calc for the piston design to verify I can get apx. 9.5-10.0 compression. Tons of info on net for Civic and other blocks, no sites have specs for the F22B block (Maybe not a "rocket-block", but at 105,000 miles the most dependable and easy to diagnose/work on block I have ever had in any car/truck- and that's quite a few engines!)

My rough calcs and machinist's opinion indicate 9.5 compression no problem, but it would be nice to be able to rough design the pistons before pulling the block and running a manual CC test on the heads.

Hopefully, by late winter, final restoration of the car will be done. Owned it since 1994, it deserves a better street/freeway engine setup for the next 10-15 years.
Info RE location af all internal engine specs greatly apprecated.

ALSO- opinions as to use of EXEDY stage 1 organic clutch with EXEDY 12# flywheel at around 20-25 HP over stock for daily driver. Very smooth engagement most important/slightly higher clamping second consideration. I am light on a clutch- the original is still in the car at +100,000K miles, but a faster (still smooth) engagement is the goal. I drive fast in traffic and tend to shift fast, but I have been driving a clutch for 30+ years and tend not to overpush a clutch at engagement.
