The H23A1 is a USDM Engine that came stock in '92 - '96 Si's.

'92 Si should have an H23A1.

That should say a lot about what he's trying to tell you.

JDM motors dont have a number on the end

IE:
h23a
f22b (equal to the usdm h23)
k20a
b18c
b16b
..etc

What's up with all this "valve cover" color bs. I can make a USDM motor a mAdTyTe RED TOP JDM motor with a $5 can of spraypaint.

Look at the damn engine code.
