wow super clean build and great video but I need to mention it looks like you've installed the cam seals backwards on the camshafts. Hoping you caught that before put it all togther.
That o-ring you installed on the center cam cap is incorrect. You need to pull out the oil control orifice and replace the o-ring that's wrapped around the orifice. You just installed an o-ring on top of the oil control orifice, bad practice.
This topic is always missed by many. But I promise you the o-ring goes around the oil control orifice not on top. Just trying to help you bud. Just finished a head job on a bb6, wouldn't hit VTEC. Long story short customers oil control orifice was misplaced, found it under the head in the block like the h23 engines. Plus a lot of other things were wrong. Timing and balance shafts were not correctly placed. So re-gasket the block, new head gasket, valve stems, timing/balance shaft belt etc. But yes the head has in total 3 oil control orifices. The one under cam cap 3 is the biggest of them and yes all of them have a o-ring wrapped around them so make sure to replace them all. I'm aware the FSM shows an o-ring and an arrow pointing to the oil control orifice, many people misinterpret that picture. That customers bb6 is running great now and its actuating VTEC through the entire rpm band. I filmed it so when I get a chance I'll post the video on my UA-cam. Good luck hope this info helps.
This guy is correct. I just did mine. You screw a screw in the hole and pole the whole time orifice out and the oring goes around that. Then you put the orifice with the o-ring around it back in the hole. The o-ring will sit much deeper when installed correctly. Notice in the Honda manual it list the o-ring and orifice. Then off to the side it shows the whole assembly they sell together.
@@lvigarage6108 he is correct also. There is two more orifice controls one on the end of each cam cap. You replace those as well if you want excellent head oil pressure.
Good series mate very helpful will definitely be using as I’m rebuilding, could you please link or let us know where you got all your gasket kits, o rings seals and all that from?
That little o ring that a lot of people seem to miss... if it was not installed, would there be enough oil pressure at the vtec solenoid to engage it? I’m trying to help my son diagnose a no vtec situation on his h23a vtec blue top engine... electrical resistance tests within spec. Also , did the oil switch bypass for testing purposes. At 5200rpm the solenoid wire is showing 2.9v which I thought was a little low but may be enough(?)... wondering if I should pull the caps and check for that o-ring.
hey i have a quick question, did u hone the cylinders before putting in new pistons? im pulling my h22 out rightnow and been reading up that the h22 has some type of FRM cylinders?

Funny you mention that because now I have to take apart my head to get to it I noticed it too late.
@@lvigarage6108 Oh no,sorry to hear that. I know its a PITA to have to do it but atleast it will be done right this time lol.
hahahahah im sorry for laughing (ive been there with engine work) but this is too damn funny
Thank you for this. This is so goals. I plan on using these videos as a guide when I rebuild my H22A4 next summer.
Do it. Me too. I need to do it already
Great rebuild series! Well filmed, you can see every detail of the work, super nice! Thank you!
Thank you friend I appreciate you
keep making more videos of the prelude, it’s my dream car to owe one!!! i’m learning from you from your prelude videos
Amazing job 🤩
👍👍👍👍

Naw man I wish I could post screenshots but the Honda prelude service manual shows that o-ring needs to be there.
You sure you’re not talking about the intake and exhaust rocker shaft o-rings? Those need to be pulled out.

Круто очень круто 😮
Would it be possible to upload a video of the lude running with the finished install? I bet that thing sounds so smooth.
Hey Bro, Idk I you have caught it yet, ( I hope you did ) But you installed the cam seals backwards. Great video. btw
I know very dumb of me, it’s addressed in the comments and also in the next video it’s the first thing I pointed out.
where did you get that gasket kit? I'm looking for some and that looks like a full set
Is there a book out there that goes over the prelude on reassembling and assembling engine wiring etc
Good series mate very helpful will definitely be using as I’m rebuilding, could you please link or let us know where you got all your gasket kits, o rings seals and all that from?
Oem friend. You don’t wanna buy stuff twice, don’t ask how I know.

Столько крутых запчастей у нас такого не сыскать😢
What is the brand of the gasket set you used for top end? I too am in the process of rebuilding mine.

les joints aac sont pas montés à l'envers ?
Not as satisfying as the other videos but still super satisfying to watch. A bit rushed.
Are you supposed to Hondabond under the 1st and 6th cam braces?
Followed the line Honda service manual told me to do.
where do you get all the parts needed to rebuild it? bolts gaskets etc?
Local Honda
Where do you get the torque specs?
Manual.
Would you sell the prelude? I live in Las Vegas
Sorry, company car lol
@@lvigarage6108 how much would the company sell it for
wow he fell for the oring meme
Orifice is in wrong spot. See other comments
Never use copper spray Jesus. MLS doesn’t need it.
Old habits lol
What’s your instagram?
