Im about to swap in a F22 into my AP1.
I am noticing that the F22s seem to be cheaper then the F20s. Any reason why? Is there something im missing here?


I was under the impression the F22 was the better version. (better retainers, doesn't burn oil etc)

 

Nothing bad other than having an 8k rev limit... Cover up your redline with a post it.

 

Search and you shall find

 

If you are buying a rebuilt AP1 engine request that the weak parts be updated. My AP1 is a 2000 and never burnt oil. It comes down to 2.2 for a bit more torque or 2.0 for the award winning version.

 

My searches lead to the same tired AP1 vs AP2 arguments.

Im more concerned about motor vs motor

 

Smh....search F22c in AP1...There's even a link in this thread to another thread all about it

 

I don't think the retainers were updated until the AP2 came out. Do you have any proof of your claim? Im not arguing with you, I actually would love for it to be true since I have a late 02 model.

 

Same old arguments there as well (summed up in a post above). Better depends on what you're after. Same as it is with any topic.

 

Intake retainers were only changed in 2004+ , the ap1 retainers were not faulty and will not crack unless you over-rev the engine above 9700 rpms or so, if you haven't over-revved the engine they can last the life of the engine. It was just the oil jet bolts that changed in the 2002 build year.
