I have a 99 accord w/ a F23a4 engine and automatic transmission. Spent $400 getting the cylinder head machined and looked over at a shop and reinstalled. Came to find out that the oil leaking in coolant system in probably due to cracked block. The mechanic said that Honda had problems with that motor (maybe a manufacturing defect). Orginally was thinking of just replacing the bottom end motor and wondered what my options were. He said to get a B20 bottom end and use my F23 and auto trans. Would this work? Any HP loss? Or should I Swap an H22a or get a used F23, just as long as i could still use my original automatic trans? Is it a little more logical to just get a whole used engine replacement and sell my F23 head? H22..F23...any other options? Opinions greatly appreciated.
