As you have noticed, i did not open the block at all which is why i did not do this to begin with. Today i ordered the "oil jet(s)" also known as "piston squirters" from Honda. I think it would be safe to do this now than be sorry later. <U>Obviously the H23 block is only designed for 6400RPM... so it may only be able to handle 7800 RPM for so long. I think this would be a safe measure to protect the pistons at higher RPMS.</U> It doesnt cost much and shouldnt be too much work. Open up the oil pan and remove the plate covering the rods and it should bolt right in. I will install this very soon, probably by the next oil change.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

See this is what i am scared about. i mean what is a way to get around this? Could i use H22 Pistons and Rods on my H23 block would this help? with this problem i mean how would i go at this problem? Because when i do this i want it to be NO PROBLEMS....and i mean what do we get out of this project more top and bottom end i mean i am just learning...

ha ha ha no problems. These are H series engines, not B series. You want ease of putting an engine together while just swapping parts to make it better or whatnot go get a civic/teg and do a Baby series....till then either boost the 23 or save and swap to a 22

no, there isn't a way to combat the problem with revving that high and not risk engine damage. hybrid engines do not work as well like madcatz said on H-series; B-series work much better at hybrids.
