Well, I did not pay enough attention as I was taking this engine apart. I cleaned, blasted and painted the intake tubes and the "intake distributor" (please correct me if I have mis-named). Anyway, I am a good 1/4" off center on the #3 cylinder intake tube, left tube. This can't be good or right, can it? I can get the short rubber hose on,
this kind of offset will leak right? the 1/2 side lines up nicely |

Looking at the pictures again, I see 2.0 runners and 1.8 box.
If you replace the heads to 3 studs, just drill the 1.8 runners. |

I have tried the tubes on both sides, same result. These are 1.8 heads. 1 came off the car, Len gave me the other one. Both have 4 studs and the tubes have 4 holes and they came off of this engine....so the head end is fine, and I have the spacers on the heads. maybe I could get me a longer rubber hose?

Did you replace the cylinders? If so, can you check they are the same length as the old ones? |
