as far as I know that as well as what you mentioned should be impossible as far as bolting them straight up..

but i've never tried so wtf do i know.

the whole point of the block/head letters is to show which parts are swappable. Ie: b16 head or bottom end can go onto any part from a b18 or b20 (with some modification sometimes).

I think that guy your raced was lying or just an idiot.

he is a fool. its not possible. the combustion chambers wouldnt meet up with they pistons right, the bolts wouldnt line up right, and the h22 head is ALOT bigger than a b-serise head. there are more differences in sizes and fitament than i care to even think about. its like fitting a h22 header on a b16 head.

don't the h22 spin the right way instead of counterclockwise like the b's??

just wondering

the h22 head is larger then the b16, and i've seen both, and this WAS an h22

What the hell would a B series engine gain by putting a H series head on it? I'd have to say nothing.

i'm not saying what it gained, i'm just saying that i saw it on there

its not possile, the engines are different lengths, its physicaly not possible, you'd have more luck getting a h22 head on a f22sohc enne than a b-serise dohc engine. that guy lied to you, or you just dont nkow what a h22 head look like

weird. did he tape the head to the block ?

first of all the bore of the h22 is 87mm
f22 is 85mm

and i couldn't find the bore for the b16 but the d16 is a 75mm bore
the b18c5 has a 81mm bore.


i guess numbers speak for themselves

im not saying the f22 head has been done, but theres more of a chance than b-serise.

no i was saying that to the first dude. i think the f22 has the head held on with 12 studs to the block while the h22 has 16
