so far we have been seeing the bluetop outperform the h22

nice thats wat i wanted to hear was maybe a preference... my friend hit me up last night and told me he would sell me an h22 fully built but the crankshaft is fucked and thats the only thing i would need to get or i could just use the head he said i could have it for 800

i was refering to the real h23 vtec the H23A bluetop. if u plan on building an h23vtec i wouldnt bother. its very rare for one to last and it cant stand up like the h22. best bet is to replace the crank in the h22 and call it a day
