sliding_creep Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hey there folks! Had a shotgun question regarding the fittment of the L20B series U67 head on a 22Z bottom end, and if there needed to be any changery of the Z22's guts (rods, pistons, crank, oiling holes, water passages and whatnot). Also, what timing chain/tensor/sprockets i needed to use, and or what else needed to be changed to make the "L22"? Thanks in advance for any help or info! cheers Quote Link to comment

sliding_creep Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Search and ye shall find:http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=1011 thank you, i'd only read a mention of that thread before, i'm glad i finally had a chance to read it myself! although, having all my questions answered, i am now ready to throw all my notes, tech manuals, cracked L20B boat anchors, L-series heads and the baby out with the bathwater. I WANT TO DRIVE MY 610! and i'm getting nowhere, i guess that's why everyone and their mother does any number of swaps. :( disappointment supreme. cheers wise man- "the path to heaven's gate is paved with least resistance," me- "i must be going the wrong mutha' @$#@ing way," Quote Link to comment
