supposedly my motor is a type s h22 but i'm rather skeptical is there and way i can tell if it is a type s by looking at the top of the pistons or the heads (the motor is apart now

 

does anyone have a clue?

 

What color is the valve cover? What's the intake manifold look like? Two easy ways to start.

 

well its not that its a type s it supposedly has all the type s parts in it and the valve cover isn't red like a type s or i wouldn't be asking this Q

 

Take the head off. Measure the lift on the cams. Look at the pistons & compare to h22a4.

 

sure

 

i donno doesnt teh type s come with lsd, and a blue valve cover?

 

Am I mistaken or not, but Type S.. should be F20B... Or does the Type S come in H22a form?

Hold on JDM or USDM? USDM does come in Type S as well. But in H22a spec.. so.. 87mm bore.. JDM Type S (F20B) is 85mm bore.

 

no the f20 is the type r

 

The easiest way is to measure the lift on the cams,,,

JDM type S is H22a & atts tranny. I think only euro R & accord SIR-T is F20B

 

Look at the intake manifold. The type-s and the regular H22 intake manifold look totally different. You should be able to tell them apart from that. Unless they switched manifolds on, but hopefully they didn't. It's a easy way to tell them apart before you going measuring cams and etc.......
