while i was rebuilding my f22b dohc i used a H23 head gasket everything looked fine when i put it on however i was told that it actually doesn't work however i want another opinion. i was told that i needed to use a f22aX head gasket. does anyone know if the H23 head gasket will work or do i need to tear back down and change it. thanks in advance.

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the exact same problem.

 

Have you tried CB7tuner.com? They have more F22B DOHC owners out there and alot of info on the F22B DOHC on their site.

 

No never heard of them. i'll give it a shot.. thank you

 

i have that engine in my accord.. use H23 parts for it.. timing belt headgasket pretty much everything that "connects" the head to the block use H23

 

I tried that and i had to return the timing belt i ended up using a 98 ITR timing belt and it worked perfect.

 

I don't think an H23A1 head gasket will work because they have different bore sizes.

I found this on this forum.
