can i put an h22 head gasket on an h23?

 

Can you, YES. Should you, NO.

I am doing an H23 VTEC Build and have both gaskets atm. there is a considerable amount of differences in them. give me an hour or so and i will snap a pic of them next to each other to show you the dif of the 2...

 

i can see the differance cuz i bought an h22 gasket and i have the old h23 gasket, but my only concerned is those 2holes on the intake side they are off but if they are only for drain purpose and not pressure i dont think is gonna make a differance

 

i accidentally put an h23 gasket on an h22 cause of the [freak]tards at honda. the only place it was a problem was on the corner at the timing belt end on the intake side, it leaked oil pretty badly there. If it was me I would get the right gasket.

 

thanks for the info i'll get the right gasket
