I will probably do that. I found the '95 on there for only $62. I'm gonna order it this weekend. Thanks for the help.

yea i bought mine when i bought my h22a1 2 years ago, i guess it was more $ back then.
$60 is good news for you guys, and my bible has several pages as well as both covers torn off, so i might just buy another one.

Do those manuals come with imformation about all the engines (f22,h23,h22), because i noticed it doesnt ask for the type of prelude you got

since this topic is on JDM engines, I have a question. Would you guys recommend AGAINST purchasing a JDM H22A swap from eBay? cuz i've seen some swaps go for $2300 complete swap, axels shift linkage all that jazz, but its the basic 200hp/161torque motor... you think its worth that? and am I likely to get screwed? even if the guy has good feedback?
