hmm
I don't believe that any of the parts are interchangable between the two, but correct me if i'm wrong. I know that certain things are interchangable between the b series motors ex. b16, b18, b20.
As for your second question, if the previous owner of the motor has aftermarket cam gears, there is a small possiblilty that your motor is completely built, if not partially. Have you asked the owner if it is? If not you should. As for the rest of the motor, why repair it when you can get aftermarket parts. I know Jun makes plenty of H23 internals. Well good luck.
