H23A DOHC VTEC Head on F23a1 Block Question

[2002CG3coupe]

The oil lines to plug are on the cam side of the head I will take a pic of the ones to plug later after work. I have an h22 head that I'm going to use so it should be the same. I just laid the head gasket on the block and you can clearly tell which 2 lines need to be plugged cause of how off the two oil lines are.

You'll also need to press out the the sprocket gear in the waterpump from your f23 and use a h22 waterpump gear sprocket and h22 crankshaft sprocket in order for the timing belt to fit correctly

Thanks for the chime in's, but I already know all this I've done much reseach the last while now.

Lmfao @ the vtec / oil comment.. it''s all good. I have a printed out guide, and many decisions to make before I start... and cash to be saved..



AAAnd i think your pic didn't work ^
so you just cross thread two bolts in these holes and then grind them flush? lol

im pretty sure you can use the h23 head since its about the same as the h22 head. i know the f20b head wont work.

H22, H23 vtec, F20B - same head. Different blocks.

Ya you can do that or get 2 1/8in plug screws from golden eagle like I did and its perfect. Just need to tap the hole
