Ok i have done too much research and no one can answer my question lol. I need a cheap cam quick for my 93 accord se with the f22a6. Been to several junkyards and all they have are 94 to 97 accords and i found a 95 odyssey. Question is will anything after 93 fit with my stock internals or j-yard rocker assembly Already tried a f22b1 cam and it didnt fit.. I dont have time to change the whole head right now. Will a f22b2 cam work >Somwhere i read that the 95 odyssey with the f22b6 had a f22a6 cam in it stock- is this true?

 

I think any F22Ax cam will work, they will just be slightly less aggressive, I thought.

An F22a2 cam is the same exact cam as the F22a6 cam. But I think it's only found in Prelude S and SI 1992-1996.

F22B2, F22B3, F22B6 and F22B8 all seem to also have the same cam as each other but I don't think they are the same as a F22ax engine even though they look close.

A 1995-1997 Odyssey is a F22B6 so I don't think that's going to fit. I don't think that's the same cam.

 

ganna go to one more junkyard out of town tomrw to see if i can find any preluds, the yard in my town does have a 89 lude with dohc? if i dont have any luck what would be the easiest head swap to do that directly fits. might just pull a head tomrw. This is the 2nd cam this head has broke in the last 5 months pretty sure the journals are fucked. just hoping no bent valves. shes a strong girl tho!

 

Any SOHC Non VTEC F22A* or F22B* camshaft from 90-97 will work. I ran an F22B2 camshaft in an F22A6 head without any issues. If I remember correctly the newer F22B2 camshaft specs are very similar to the older A6 so you shouldn't loose much as far as performance goes.

If you are breaking cams continuously, I would look for a new head or try and find the reason for them breaking. They don't usually break all that often.

Again, any SOHC Non VTEC F22A* or F22B* head would be the quickest and easiest swap. Another A6 head would be the best option.
Non VTEC DOHC F22B or H23A head swaps are common if you want to stay away from VTEC headaches.

 

I have a f22b1 cam but it's to big. So a f22b2 cam would work? and can I use my a6 rocker assembly or do I have to get the right one

 

It's not that the F22B1 cam is too big so much as it is a VTEC camshaft, so it has a few extra intake lobes.

Yes you can use an F22b2 camshaft with your A6 rocker assembly, they are 100% interchangeable.

 

wouldnt the the valve cover say vtec if i pulled it from a vtec motor? the f22b1 cam was pulled from a 95 ex (sohc). im ganna try a f22b2 today from a 94 accord. I will be back later with my results.

 

When you pulled it out what made you think it was an F22B1 camshaft? The F22B1 is most definitly a VTEC engine, from the factory.

Yes, VTEC valve covers usually say VTEC and the spark plug boots on the SOHC are along the exhaust side. Where as the Non VTEC SOHC have the spark plug boots along the intake side of the valve cover, and it usually only says "16 valve Honda" on the cover. I have seen people shave the writing off the valve cover for looks.

The engine designation code number can be found on the block on the distributor end just beside the exhaust manifold.

pulled a cam i know forsure is a f22b2 cam. The problem im having is when i put the cam in it only spins to a point then it stops and my #2 and #3 exaust valve adjusters are maxed out when the tip of the lobes hit the lifters and the cam seizes. My #1 journal is pretty messed up i polished it a bit. could this journal be the reason my cam is seizing or is it the lobes on the cam being to big for the valves. I pulled a head but it has water in it from the hjood being open so i ended up not taking it

 

this forum blows

 

noone could even answer my last question on crank timing. Wtf. Honda tech my *** .

 

Lol
Youre mad that nobody is holding your hand while you try to slap **** together like a backyard mechanic cave man?

I suggest you get your head out of your own ***, maybe youll start figuring some stuff out then. Either that or maybe you should find a hobby that doest require using your brain.

 

Sounds like you have a messed up valve train may not have anything to do with the camshaft. The F22B2 camshaft lobes are not too big, I already told you that.

Time to really find out why you are breaking camshafts. If your cam is binding against the valves and the valves won't move, best to check and see what is keeping them from moving. They could be bent???? hard to tell with very little description or any pictures to go by. You started this thread wanting to know what cams are interchangeable, now you come out with 2 broken cams and a valve train that has issues moving.......Clearly communicating your intentions from the start helps!

With a little bit of mechanical aptitude, you should be able to figure out why things aren't moving. Find that object and start there.... Did that cylinder head at the junkyard have a lot of rust in it? A bit of water won't hurt it if it hasn't been run through the oil passages and there isn't a lot of rust.

Now, you are not paying for my experience and I do not sit on my computer waiting for every post, you can't always expect answers within 10 minutes....LMFAO

Best of luck!

 

I just want my car to work and figure out what's wrong with it. And by no means am I a mechanic jus a dude with alot of motivation to do things. apparently I have 2 bent valves and a fucked valve train. I need to do a head swap gamma start another thread I guess. And on the last post all I asked for was to tell me what line the base timing was suppose to be set to and noone could do it lol.

 

Where did you ask about crank timing in this thread? Have to be honest, your posts are pretty scattered hard to read.

Trust me, crank timing on a 93 is a google search away if you didn't have someone spoon feed it to ya fast enough!

 

I think you have decided to shoot yourself in the foot by being an a-hole. I'm not surprised at this point that you can't figure things out since you are unable to communicate well, seem to lack basic skills in searching, and are overall an idiot for acting in this manner. You will not be missed.

 

This thread will closed so OP can find his own way.
