I know Fiid was doing one of these, anyone else in progress or complete?
After doing the contortionist trick of adjusting valves with the exhausts in place a couple of times, I'm in the middle of pulling the HEs off my 1.7 to replace a pair of exhaust studs, and reminding myself how much easier the job would be if the exhausts were off, but thanks to the stock heater system how big a hassle that is. I hate exhaust studs pulling out (No. 3 cylinder, as usual). And all this trouble for only 80hp. 140hp or so from a water-cooled engine with hydraulic lifters (or 20K mile valve adjustment intervals) is starting to sound pretty good right now. If it were any easier to run water lines, I'd be all over this already. |

the only thing that would be in the way is the alt. but it can be relocated, but if i did that i can reverse the manifold. and before people say it, there is a reverse manifold mod but its for the water. i dont want to move the alt because the only place to put it is where the ac compressor is and some day i want to hook it up too.
i could do a top intake ala d jet but it is too close to the engine lid. |
