Yeah, H22A4 in USDM land (5th gen Prelude). You have what looks to be a JDM H22A, probably a '92 model year.

 

yeah man u got one of the first j-spec h22s made mine is a little newe than yours its like 101856 or we

 

there's also a stamp on the block. behind the header that tells you the date.

 

Ok, now to oil and filter changes. is it safe to say that when i go to buy the stuff to get 92 prelude plugs filters etc? also what is best oil. 5wt 10wt?!? thx J

 

or would it be 93 prelude since 93 has vtec ?!?

 

that from a 4 gen lude (92-96), the newer one are h22a4, h22a is jdm from 4 gen ludes.
