2.2L SOHC Swap w/ DOHC
For my next project I am looking into swaping the head off my SOHC with the head from an H22A to make it DOHC. Has anyone succesfully done this? Should the swap be easy? I heard I could do this and keep my existing bottem end. I thought about just purchasing an H22A for a complete swap, but if swaping the heads will do the same thing and for less loot, then I am all for it? What do you Think?

nah... whoever told you that was wrong.
someone in rockville tried to do it on his accord without any success. the oil wont flow properly through the block...... there are many headaches. in short, you cant put a soch head on a doch block. just get a turbo to finish out the project.

That's funny you mentioned that because I actually ordered a T3 turbo, for my turbo proj. But I was talking about DOHC TO SOHC, not SOHC to DOHC(there would be no point in that).

like i said...... doesnt work, i've asked around about it. the timing would be a mess, oil wouldnt flow at the proper rate, and you wouldnt make as much power because the compression the the f22 is lower.

H22 head on F series block can't be done. The head won't bolt up with the holes of the F series block. This kind of head swap can be done to a h23 block. Even then you get bad realiability problems. The only way to go about doing this is getting any form of the h22 longblock and swapping it in.
