Clean as a whistle. I love this car to death.

Very interesting how Honda built a separate oil galley casting that bolts to the bottom of the main bearing supports for oiling, rather than run galleys thru the block like most other manufacturers. Probably explains why these engines last so long, having those nice big high-flow passages everywhere.

      They really don’t. Good reason these things last forever.

      If this engine for whatever reason kicks the bucket, an H22 with a slight bore over, bumped up compression, and more aggressive cam was going to be my drop-in. Plus a manual swap. That plus good manifold design can easily get 40hp or more over what the pedestrian F22 can and would really wake this car up.

      But it’s my college daily so I can’t be doing any fucking with it right now… it runs mint anyway so no reason to.
