need help! f22a motor swap with f22b2
Im new to the forums, I posted about my 95 accord dx f22b2 5speed, died on me finally. I have fuel and spark, my compression is 160,160,110,160psi. I took the timing belt cover off and the timing belt is pretty loose, mostly the left side of the belt...I can pull it half way off with my bare hands, with some more strength I can pull it all the way off. I'm pretty sure I jumped timing and damaged something in that #2 cyl. My question is I came across a f22 from a 92 accord. Only details I have for right now as far as that motor is concerned, I'll get more tomorrow. Can I swap that motor into my 95 accord fairly straight forward. Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Well you compression is good in all the cyls except your 2nd cyl is kinda low but not dead yet (your max should be 180psi and low side is 80psi). But that doesn’t necessarily mean the block is bad. You could have damaged the head that’s why you might not hold compression (bent valve(s)) in cyl 2. I would pop your head and take a look be4 trying to do a full swap. If your block ends up being good you could just have your head re worked or replaced. It will be allot less work than a full swap.

I ended up taking the car in to get fixed. Apparantly the car started right up for them?! They ran a compression test and didn't have the same numbers that I had they were all at or close to 160, they did end up replacing the timing belt, water pump...the belt was stretched pretty good.They told me after they did that the car wouldn't start...they replaced the dizzy/cap and fired right up and I've been driving it since then with no problems again. They charged me $450.
