just got my first prelude....it's a 95 prelude with a 2000 H22a enigne in it.

The prelude has a full body conversion on it with 98 style Silvia headlights (that's why my nickname is Presilvia, part prelude, part silvia), anyways...the back is a Lexus IS 300 conversion, with real IS tail lights, not the fake gaytezzas. It has a combat body kit with side skits and the rear bumpber molded into the body.

i got the car from a guy who put the motor in a did all the wiring. I just need a couple of more parts to get it started, the wiring is all done just some more parts, like alternator and ECU, and headers.

so i just wanted to say hi to everyone and join this cool prelude club.

Because H23 and H22A blocks use the FRM coating walls... Forged pistons are made out of an aluminum alloy, there for aluminum and aliminum wearing against each other causes alot of friction, there for leaving scored cyclinder walls and severe gouges under some circumstances. If you want to use forged pistons you must resleeve your block, but then you are weakening the block if you go with cast iron sleeves.

I thought it would have been pretty clear why he needs to read up alot, before he goes through a rebuild. I have spent the past 2 months doing research on everything for my rebuild. And I've come to the conclusion, half the people I've talked to dont' know squat. I call performance shops, places that sell jdm parts, honda mechanics even, and they don't know jack about rebuilds, or the H22A motor even. Most shops and Honda Repair shops, buy entire pieces like heads or blocks and just bolt them on, they rarely deal with internals, because the workings of the Honda long blocks are so fine tuned they are hard to work with.

Happy?
