Yup like Random has mentioned the heads are identical and will bolt up to your 2L Block smile.gif

 

HAHA i remember my first experiance with a torque wrench, it was a snap-on click type; confusing lil bugger but i figured it out w.o over tourquing anything lol..

Good luck TC, are you doing the swap without your boyfriends help? dont want him to screw up this one

 

Damn, HMA serivce used to list one of the 2.0L exhaust cams (don't remember if it was Elantra or Tiburon) as "better" than the 1.8L Exhaust cam.

I just checked and now they all spec out the same (exhaust cam)....

Memory, god you are going to miss it. First thing to go, grandpa.

 

Don't worry Random, I remember reading that somewhere too. tongue.gif Your not a grandpa yet. tongue.gif lol.gif

Breaking the bolts shouldn't have screwed the entire head up... did he drill through the entire head or something? LOL.

 

^yup, he drilled into the head.

And nope hes not touching it anymore, LOL. Im just lucky that I had an extra one laying around. Or rather he's lucky.

It is a Rev A but we took the chain retaining clip out. We're also obviously putting the 1.8 cam back in, haha. So this whole thing was pointless. LOL

 

You might want to put that back in there. It's in there for a reason.... from what I've been able to figure out, the Rev-A heads have a bit more oil flow to the head/chain area and that piece is there to catch the oil fling off so it doesn't get sucked up by the PCV/Breather tubes on the Valve cover.

BTW...That's a Wild ass semi-educated guess.. but If I'm right, you don't want all that oil ending up sucked in the intake manifold by the PCV or into the intake by the breather tube.

 

Oh damn...yeah thatd be a lot of blow by, haha.

Alright, I'll tell him later. It can go back in tomorrow.

thanks. Its good to have you and other knowledgeable people around. I know quite a bit but not that much, lol.

 

an oil catch tank will solve that

 

true, an oil catch would take care of that... but why not use the factory piece as well? It certainly beats having to empty the catch can every week.
