head question for the ln2 guys
Monday, February 16, 2009 6:14 AM
My friend drives a 2001 cav with 2200 and he purchase a head off ebay for the 2.2.. We have hopes of building this head before puttin on the car (no problems with car, just upgrade). Now for the question, will this head mate up with 2200 block or are there going to be modifications? The listing on ebay didn't say what year it came off, just cav 2.2. Thanx in advance

does the cylinder head have guide plates for the pushrods? If so then you have a pre 98 head found on the 2.2 not the 2200 ohv found on the 98-02 motors and It is not interchangeable. do you have any pics you could post up so we could help you out better.

Could also look at the combustion chamber and see if the hole is there for the coolant pipe....

Don't have the head yet. It is still on its way here. He placed the bid 4 days ago expecting to be out bid and turns out he won and now has to buy. I'll check it out when it arrives. Got a part number or casting number that I might compare with?

Yeah hope for his sake it's a 2200, cause they are 2 totally different heads.

Where is the issue???



lol


and I actually think it is higher, in the 14-14.5:1 area. Plus I believe there will be some heartaches with some coolant passages.
