ok so then some one just decided to pop out the F23 and drop a F22 in my buddy's accord?

The 23 was likely blown or something. The 22 would have been an easy fit, would have mated to the transmission and is readily available from any salvage yard for very little money. Too bad it's a down-grade in performance for no real increase in fuel mileage.
