Default I have heard people mention a H22A ShortBlock, is there such a thing?

I have posted 2 post about going OBD1 or staying OBD2, in my replies I received comments about swapping out my H22A4 for a H22A Short Block. Is there such a engine? Are they better?

a short block means just the motor. A long block has everything on it. Likes say if u blew ur motor your would want a short block to replace it. If you where swapping to h22 you would a full long block.

Wrong.

short block is a block only no head attatched
long block is head and block together
bare block is just that a Bare block no crank rods or pistons

Thank You, now I understand. My engine threw a rod, so all I needed was a short block.

Might want to check your valves. Depending on the situation in which the rods went out, they could have taken out some valves along with them.

I want to know what you did?? How would you have saved money..


And... Wow... The comments in this thread aren't even funny... I can't believe guys don't know the difference between a Long Block, a Short Block and a Bare Block... Think about what it means before you post, and if you don't know, don't tell others that don't know and give them wrong information...

I just purchased a H22A LongBlock, thats getting swapped this week. I could bought the shortblock from the guy or someone for less than what I paid for the long block. I am happy with the engine I purchased from Hmotorsonline. It was worth the money.
