ok i have a 92 lude with a jdm h22a in it. when i bought the car vtec didnt work. then somehow, as i was driving in a massive rainstorm, at LOW rpm's i might add, my car dies. i cranked for about 20 min and it finally fired up. only with a LOUD knock. so i drive it home and rip it apart and the #1 conncting rod bent. so i got a new balanced and pollished crank from an h22a, and new main and rod bearings. i had some spare f22b2 rods laying around. they are a little shorter than the stock h22a rods. they should still work fine and carry enough compression to run right? and after i got it back together and put it in the car, it did not want to run. so i did a comp test and i had about 30 lbs of compression on the first 2 cylinders. when i put the head gasket on i torqued it down twice, like a dumbass. i forgot something and had to do it again. so i tore the motor apart and found what looked like a piece of the compression tester stuck in the spark plug hole for cylinder 1. so im going to get that out and make sure the threads on all 4 cylinders are good. buy a new head gasket, and put it back together. my questions are ,would the f22 rods cause the compression to drop from 250 lbs to 30 lbs? personally i dont think it should. i think i had a gasket leak. and will the motor run with the f22 rods? assuming the head gasket seals the way it should. any info will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

 

and one more thing. when i get it running, what all needs wires ran for vtec? ive done research and found the vtec solonid(1 wire) the pressure switch(2 wires) and the knock sensor(? wires). just want to make sure that this is all thats needed. thanks again
