Hey everbody, I really appriciate you taking the time to look at my thread. I'm new on this site and this is my first post.
About three weeks ago, I bought my first car, a 1994 honda Prelude Si with 176,000 miles on the body, and about 76,000 miles on the replaced engine, (previous owner just didn't feel like getting his knock sensor replaced). Now I'm also new at car mechanics. I have my own car now and i'm really getting into it and i'm learning as much as I can, but I'm not even close to knowing enough to do what I'm trying to do.
I have the USDM h23a1 engine, and I hate it that I dont have VTEC, I want to replace my head with the h22 head. The car burned out my wallet, so I'm trying to do it with the help of two of my neighbors, (one of which is an airplane mechanic, the other a seasond backyard mechanic) and two of my friends who are taking community college classes in automotive technology.
They're good, but I want to know EVERYTHING, down to oil viscosity changes to recomendations about the tranny, I need to pull this off and have this engine last me for years to come... Please help!!! Thanks
