Wiring harness going over the motor makes simple jobs on other honda motors a pita
Balance shafts
The sheer fucking size of the engine makes it a bitch to work on
Pistons made of glass
Sleeves with FRM = annoying to put pistons in
Cable shift trans.
Everything that you love about the B and D series motors the H series simply is the opposite of.
couldn't have said it better.
i like how people kept throwing the displacement envy out there.
honda guys. the true honda guys, not the fart cannon kids, like hondas because they can take their tiny ass 4 bangers and stomp on v-8s that cost several times as much. they don't like the H22 because its too heavy. its too big. its too ass backwards. The other engines that came in the preludes suck even more nuts. The H22 has potential and all tht jazz, but why have 2.2 liters of hard to work on engine, when you can do the same with 1.8?
