'lude rebuild questions
Hey all. I wanted to ask the rebuild veterans how much of a pain it is to rebuild an H23? Also, if anyone has any good resources or pointers for this rebuild that would be awesome. I love this car so much I really can't justify selling it with a crapped out engine for next to nothing. I would consider doing a swap, but at this point since I am a poor college kid a rebuild would be more feasible. Please help!

I appreciate your input, but if I would rather rebuild than put an F22 in. Also, you know the condition of the engine when you rebuild it. When you put in a different engine, it is possible that some jackass was abusing it. It could have low miles and still malfunction if it has been pushed to the limit.

Rebuilding is always more expensive then replacing. Either way your going to spend a shit load of money to repair your engine when you can just do a swap and use the extra money for something else, so if you truly are a poor college kid heed my advice. Are you going to rebuild this yourself? Usually if you take it to a shop they just rebuild the Head. What is wrong with the engine in the first place?

There is nothing wrong with the DOHC F22, like you said it's about the same as an H23. It's just that like I said I am not to cool about buying an engine that I have no knowledge of its history. I do plan to do the labor myself. I really like tinkering and since I don't NEED this car to be running right now, I can take my time and learn a thing or two. A rebuild kit including a new oil pump runs about $550 which is less than swapping.

just take the old one out slide the new one in.
as for a rebuild what exactly is wrong with it a complete rebild will cost 1000+
