Prelude questions. help new guy

[H23A1Lude]

I'd just ditch the SOHC alltogether. Get an H22A. It's worth the money.

You've have to block some oil passages. You'd be better off getting the full motor, though. "Frankenstein" motors often aren't all that reliable. I've seen people who really knew what they were doing end up blowing stuff up.
Pull your motor, sell it to some dumbass that thinks it's a good motor. Then just shell out the $1000 or so for a decent H22A. Me and my friend did an H22 swap in 2003, and it's been running strong ever since.
