I got the car I wanted back in the day....17 years l8r as a Father/Son project car. I read your rules and crawled all over your huge site. I found lots of great information.
I found a really straight car for 500 and am now looking at a JDM 7A-FE but I was unsuccessful at finding this seemingly str8 forward swap on your site. I've sifted through TONS of great and helpful information tho. My only other swap experience was a Mazda Rotary into a 4wd Suzuki Samurai. I got the distributor type JDM located, I'm waiting to hear if the injectors are on the intake or head. I have a new head, but with a bad rod bearing I don't want to risk contaminating the newer engine. Any help would be appreciated, I'll continue to search your site for more information. |

Oddly enough I do better searching the site from google and popping onto threads than searching the site. I'll look for your thread specifically, the site got somewhat eaiser and more informative after I registered and started reading the FAQs and like.
I know the rod bearing has nothing to do with the head, but it does share engine oil. With the oil being contaiminated with shaved metal I would want the head cleaned professionally. I know it has a filter, but with the investment being made I wouldn't be comfortable relying on the filter. |
