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 |

Facts: The plenum is installed correctly. There are right and left intake runners. The runners in your pics are not for a 2.0 (they wouldn't bolt to the heads and they would be way short). Conjecture: Your first pic shows the passenger side plenum tubes the same length. The tubes on the runners are not the same length. On a 1.7 plenum, the #3 tube is about a half inch longer than #4. In post #10 it "appears" the #4 tube is sticking inside the plenum? It also appears that #3 runner is touching the plenum. I don't have a 1.8 plenum to compare with physically, but comparing the two visualy, it looks like the 1/2 side of the two plenums are about the same while the 3/4 sides are much different. The 1.8 plenum is much "fatter" than the 1.7 on the 3/4 side. More conjecture: At least one of your intake runners is from a 1.7. |
