so if anyone read this thread before i searched and found i was right, so sorry for the extra stupid thread, but should i distrust the engine i'm getting from steve from hmotors.com? how he doesnt' knwo the difference between euro-R and type-R seemingly? what do you guys think on this? i guess i could just say i want the one who's engine code is h22a and not h22a7

rentien · 04-06-2004, 12:34 AM

o yea and what should i do with my old engine? my h22a1 with 180k miles and a rough idle from being messed up? any suggestions?

dunno what to say about the first problem, but you can sell your second one eBay, I'm sure you'll still get a decent amount for it, especially if you describe it as "perfect for a build project" or something along those lines.

hm i guess thats a good idea for getting rid of it, i just dont' even want to deal with it, but ok good idea

you could always try parting it out, it'd be easier to ship several small pieces, but the block is still quite big. Check around for shipping options later on, people are generally willing to pay for shipping when they bid on engines on eBay. I plan to auction my H23a1 if/when i buy a JDM H22, it'll help towards the cost of the swap

my h22a1 is messed up though..., bad compression in one cylinder... probably due to a slightly bent valve, rough idle as a result, lots of stuff has broken down like alternator, distributor, etc etc...

rebuild it

use it for your own project... thats what i'm doing with my dead h23

plus, you'll know more about the engine after you do a full rebuild

4thGenReady2Go · 04-06-2004, 09:02 PM

Still though, like I said, there's always someone out there looking for a cheap engine because they want to replace all the innards with aftermarket performance parts, this would be ideal for them.

Broken Devil · 04-06-2004, 09:06 PM

theoretically speaking, how much would you sell your old one for?

rentien · 04-06-2004, 11:23 PM

does anyone know? i was hoping 800... but if i end up selling to anyone on PO.com i don't want to rip them off so can people tell me a honest good price for the h22a1 with the problems i listed?

4thGenReady2Go · 04-07-2004, 11:46 AM

I'd say closer to 600, but I'm not too sure if that's high or low.

rentien · 04-08-2004, 08:16 AM

anyone else have any suggestions for pricing?

trancedprelude · 04-08-2004, 10:02 AM

i'll take ur vtec head + IM for $200 hehehe

rentien · 04-12-2004, 02:19 AM

guess no one else wants my crappy h22a1...

[SUB[EX] · 04-12-2004, 07:53 AM

hey, i need a bottom end
Hows the bottom end buddy?

Actually i only need a crank but i could always use that block and crank and throw my pistons inside.

h22a1, thats open deck huh? Thats kinda ***.
Just tell me what you want for the bottom end.

trancedprelude · 04-12-2004, 09:06 PM

subex can take the bottom end and i can take the top...

rentien · 04-13-2004, 12:18 AM

the block is new, so are the pistons, i don't know about the crank, the head is old... as in 180k old... you guys still interested?
and if this were to happen i would need help taking off the top (subex you're close to me, you'd be the one to help haha)

trancedprelude · 04-13-2004, 08:34 AM

i wanna rebuild the head anyways... lemme ask my friend "who actually knows about these kinda stuff" and i'll let u know... hahaha
