Disadvantages of the Honda F22B engine
- The motor is primarily known for regular oil and coolant leaks.
- After 100 – 150 thousand kilometers, rings usually lie down and the oil burn begins.
- A dirty idle valve or EGR valve often leads to unstable engine operation.
- Monitor the condition of the timing belt, its resource is 90,000 km, and when it breaks, the valve bends.
- Since hydraulic compensators are not provided, the valves are adjusted every 40,000 km.
Honda F22 Engine Modifications
- F22A1 – engine for Accord and Prelude, Compression ratio 8.8. Power 125 HP at 5200 rpm for the Accord and at 10 hp more for American Prelude, which is achieved by customizing the control unit.
- F22A3 / F22A7 – version for the European market, Compression ratio 9.8, camshafts from F22A6, outlet from F22A4, power 150 hp at 5900 rpm.
- F22A4 – analogue of F22A1 with a different outlet, power 130 hp at 5200 rpm.
- F22A6 is an analogue of F22A1, but with a different intake, outlet, camshaft and the corresponding setting of the control unit. Power increased to 140 hp at 5600 rpm.
- F22A9 is an analogue of F22A6 for Australia.
- F22B is an analogue of F22A and H23A, but with a twin-shaft cylinder head and a Compression ratio of 9.3. These DOHC motors develop 160 hp at 6000 rpm.
- F22B1 is similar to F22A, but the heads of these engines are equipped with VTEC system, tuned for fuel economy.
- F22C1 is the top-end version of the F22 engine.
