And the spacing of the ports are different.It turns out that the Ex side of the head on the 16v is 90* to the head gasket, whereas the 20v is sloped inward 15%.
To re-iterate from pics above, you will require to mod the ID of the top hat and make a spacer for the bottom.Also, if it is not evident from the picture, the Front struts I used were:
Koni (8610 1436Race)
I think they sell for about $210 each, but since I was searching so much around for them, one day the good ole amazon pop up came up with SALE: $164 each, so I jumped on it.
The Journal size are the same on all 058 Shafts, but in this case, I believe the gear is different than the PL if I recall. I know the part number is different for the AEB IM shaft (058115017A). Perhaps if you use the entire AEB setup (oil pump drive gear, etc) it would work?Hi Sdezego
Do you know if AEB (058 block) IM shaft fits in older PL 1.8 block ?
thanks
exactly 10 days after that last post (Jan 13), I had an extremely bad (freak) accident to my hand in my shop. 7 months later and my hand is still only about 65% operational and need at least another Surgery (coming soon) and then a minimum of 3 months of Physical Therapy after that..So glad you're still working on this. There's some really nice fab work in here!!
Thanks, the AEB IM shaft worked perfectly, its for 16v conversion.The Journal size are the same on all 058 Shafts, but in this case, I believe the gear is different than the PL if I recall. I know the part number is different for the AEB IM shaft (058115017A). Perhaps if you use the entire AEB setup (oil pump drive gear, etc) it would work?
I know the IM gears are the same. I run the 9a 2L setup in this motor, but need the clearance for the 2L crank.
