Those are the stamp codes and the F22A1 is SOHC.

h23 is the DOHC prelude

BigLew

Yes but you weren't asking about the H23.

honda made a f22a1 for the accord (90-93)that was sohc and a f22a1 for the prelude S dohc (92-97)

How can one be SOHC and the other be DOHC when it has the exact same engine code?

BigLew

I don't believe that is correct anything I have ever read inlcluding literature from Honda says that the F22A1 is a SOHC engine and it was not offered in Preludes past 96 models. 97 is 5th generation and has no S in the U.S.

The JDM F22B is a DOHC engine and basically it's almost identical to the H23 engine but with an 85 mm bore instead of 87 mm.

USDM 4th gen (92-96)prelude engines
f22=SOHC no-tec, S
H23=DOHC no-tec, Si
H22=DOHC v-tec, Sr-V or Vtec

ok im sorry, then i should ask what is the stamp code for the head of a f22b

BigLew

That is the engine stamp code and it's not the the head it's on the block if it's a JDM F22B then it will say "F22B" on it.
