Cracked Head

[KDM>JDM]

Okay im looking at buying a 95 honda prelude Si the int. is really clean an the body is okay minus one dent that can be pulled. It has a JDM F22b in it but it has a cracked head. I was just wondering what my options were on how to fix it? a New F22b head? or will another head fit it? what other motors will work with the trans? he only wants $700 and i think i can talk him down to $500. Oh and i don't care if its slow or fast i just want to keep miles off of my Tiburon an my GFs civic so we want this little project car...thanks!

it'd be cheepest to buy a used head.. look on here or go to honda parts connect.


ps: get a V-TECH

He said the old motor blew an he put this one in it...i poped the hood an it said F22b an its DOHC

yea get a new head

New head or whole H23.

Is it still on the H23 ECU or is the F22 ECU swapped? I guess that would determine what route.

are 100% positive it has a cracked head? pull the head off and take it to a head shop and get it cracked check (unless it is off the car and they already did it).

but i agree, buy a used head. car-part.com

Nah im not sure, thats what they told me though. And I figure if it was the gasket or anything then water got in the motor and has been sitting for over a year so theres no telling the condition of it.

sounds like a new motor would be the reliable option
