Are all 8v hydraulic cylinder heads the same?
« on: 31 December 2007, 10:09 »
Hi

Got a couple of weeks of after the festive season (makes up for working Xmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day!), so I want to finally fit the 2E block in the garage to my car.  Does anyone know if my digi head is the same as ones from earlier K-jet engines?  I don't really want to butcher my 1.8 engine incase it all goes wrong :embarassed:

There will be a lot more opportunity to find the right price/location if I can chose from a larger range of heads.

Thanks

Rich

From what i can remember mate, they have differant injector seats(these are removeable and interchangeable) and the k jet has a medium vacumn pipe exiting between inlet ports 3 and 4 (which can be blocked off). i am running a k jet head on my 2.0 digi mk2, which seems to run very well. also beware that some k jet heads are not hydraulic!
