i would love to but i cant find any places. Have you got any good sources? I can find a bunch of half cuts that will set me back around 2.5k but i don't need any of the extras then the labor cost of moving the engine in and out.

Yeh, I would also advise get new motor and major service before you put her in. Can be done well under that 4k mark.

If you go to someone who knows what they are doing preped with all you need 1k in labour.

Id prefer to go that way but i am having a hard time finding anything decent. I've called several places. Eg. BYP offering a used h22a long block with 170xxxkm for $1100.

Do you know of any good sources for low km jdm h22a engines?

Try to negotiate with them, 170 not bad. If you did a major. Shouldn't have any real issues till well within the 200 range. Thats wut 1 -2 years of use?

I would not come anywhere near BYP with a 1000 foot pole

A member on here had a H22a put in his accord and lets say
A timing belt was not done when it was installed and the pistons and valves ended up kissing each other some years later

best to say is that when u buy an engine from a shop, search their reputation first.

type in the name of the shop that sell the engine in the search on ozhonda and see what happen

something interesting will come up.

u have been warned

Did a compression and leak down test at JDMYARD today. Compression results were 240 235 230 240. and Leak down test showed all cylinders stable with no major issues. So from this we gathered it was most likely the valve stem seals. So at the moment i am getting quoted on valve stem seal replacements which will pretty much be a major service with timing belt, water pump replacement etc. OR drop in a used motor. What are your opinion guys?

[amant02]

Service the head with new VRS Kit. Timing Belt + Water Pump and I'd say your good to go.
