Hey all,
I'm new to this board, and I was hoping someone could answer this for me. I have a H22a4 that was taken from 1993 prelude. Now I know that it could not be the original engine since its an h22a4 not h22A1 or h22A model.. my question is, how can I figure out what year it is from. The problem for me lies in the fact that 98-01 engines have different main bearings than the 1997, with the money I have already spent I am not going to assume they are identical for size.
PN 13321-PT0-004 = 1997 H22a4 main bearing
PN 13321-PCA-004 = 98+ H22a4 main bearing

Anyone know a simple solution to this?
Thanks in advance,

The dates should be stamped on the head just above the exhaust manifold. Either that or behind the exh manifold on the block.

HTH,

 

They should be the same size but I would rather get backed up by someone. Anyone else?

EDIT: oh yeah and welcome to H-T

 

no they arent the same size, he is right the main bearings get biggers in the 98+

 

Yep there was a number there alright, NO.1 99.
I'm thinking that meants November '99, would that be correct? Thanks to everyone for their input.

 

1-99?
January 1999
Engine could have been taken out of a 2000 :tup:
