  • HONDA engines covered

    The F22A is Honda's 2,156 cc 16-valve single overhead camshaft four-cylinder, without VTEC, from 126 to 150 hp. It powers the Accord IV (saloon, Aerodeck, coupe), the Prelude IV 2.2 and the Ascot, from 1989 to 1996.

    It has 8 inlet valves, two per cylinder: the 14711-PT3-A00 original valve has a 34.0 mm head and a 5.5 mm stem. A sharper camshaft, stiffer springs, a higher rev limit or forced induction ask far more of them than stock use.

    SUPERTECH reinforced inlet valves

    On the inlet side, each valve opens and closes dozens of times a second at high rpm, strikes its seat and slides constantly in its guide, at 400 to 550 °C. At these temperatures the chrome-silicon steel of stock valves drops from 500 MPa at 500 °C to 250 MPa at 600 °C: it loses 50 % of its strength.

    SUPERTECH makes these valves from an EV8-type racing stainless steel: 650 MPa at 500 °C and 550 MPa at 600 °C, i.e. 30 % then 120 % more than stock steel. Their black nitride treatment hardens and smooths the surface, which cuts friction and stem wear in the guide.

    SUPERTECH supplies this valve in +1 mm oversize: 35.0 mm head, 5.48 mm stem, 112.0 mm length. The wider head lets more air through and improves filling, provided the inlet seats are cut to 35.0 mm.

    Technical guide

    The brand offered

    SUPERTECHSUPERTECH, based in San Jose, California, has designed valvetrain parts for racing engines for more than 30 years: valves, springs, retainers, guides. Each valve is drawn for a given cylinder head, checked by ultrasound, X-ray and laser, then proven with engine builders, at the drag strip as on the circuit.

    When reinforced valves become necessary

    • Higher-lift camshafts or stiffer springs
    • Raised rev limit
    • Turbo or supercharger fitted
    • Cylinder head rebuilt for circuit, hill climb or rally
    • Original valves marked, worn or already reground
