they are both 2.0’s, they have to be the same. The only difference I _might_ believe is that one is cast and one is forged. just like H’s, H23a is cast, 6500 redline, spins bearings like its union. H22 is forged, I spin my ferio 9500rpm + and it just wants more. ---

Are you sure about this? I was under the impression that all honda cranks where forged, i bet the jdm h23a has massive rod bolts instead ---
