just wondering who's running an h23 crank in an h22, and are there any problems?
I'm building a new block now w/ sleeves, h23 knife-edged crank, crower rods, wiseco 90mm 14:1 pistons... Just waiting on the crank now.

 

You're knife-edging it? I really don't recommend that...did you ever see what happened to my H23 crank?

my new block is ready a h22 block with 90mm bore with a h23 crank

 

got any pics?

 

They work well.

 

I dont reccomed using knife edging the crank only thing you need to remove is the oil squirters in the block and your ready to roll. goodluck

 

I would keep the squirters. Have the counter weights "shaved" to clear the squirters. It takes very little work to do this.

 

What's wrong w/ just bending them out of the way a bit?

 

hmmm i will have to give that a try. good idea. You done this correct.

 

If you're running forged pistons the squirters are kinda pointless if you ask me..I don't run them in my h22a..

 

I think they are still helpful for boosted applications.

 

oil squirters are also good if you want to rev higher

 

do you just unbolt them or do you have to plug the hole in the block?

I used to run H23 Crank, Eagle Rods and JE Pistons...... The extra power isn't worth it. Unless you have an H23 Crank laying around, stick with what you have.

 

what do you mean that the extra power isn't worth it? what happened to that setup?

Okay, so lets say you have a full H22A block already. You build it, so you buy rods, pistons, and sleeve it. You already have the H22A crankshaft, so use it. Don't waste your money to spend a couple hundred on an H23A crankshaft.

Of course one could say, you spend a lot already, a couple hundred won't make a difference.

Eventually, the tensioner gave out and it bent the valves. The piston went bad, but the block is rebuildable. Just need to resleeve it and put in one new piston.

Now if you already had an H23A block, dats a different story. You have it, just use it. Find a H22A head and you're set.

 

what tensioner were you using...manual or hydro? I know a guy using this same setup that i'm going to use, and he's making 263whp and 191tq. I've already got the crank, I payed $150cdn

Are you talking about how to remove the squirters?

 

yes

 

i'm not sure anyone's done that before; i'm assuming you'd have to at least plug the hole that feeds the oil to the rails; it may be as easy as getting a threaded plug and screwin' it in
