L20/L16 Interchangability

[poopie]

Will my L16 head fit on my L20 block?? And also will my L20 comp cam fit in the L16 head?

 

Im debating doing this because I cant really find any L20 timing covers. Some smart guy(previous owner) tried to put the L16 timing cover on the L20 block and head with some rtb, and it leaks oil like a son of a bitch.

 

So While I have the L20 head off and the L16 timing cover on, would it make sense to throw on that L16 head on hopes to fix that oil leak??

As far as fit, the L20/L16 heads are exactly the same (AFAIK)

You'd hafta get an L20 timing cover to keep the L20 block.

Port size and valve size (and shape) are another matter entirely.

i have an L20 cover avail, not the prettyist, but it wont spew oil everywhere.

LOCATION?

 

 

what 2 heads do you have?

choose the better of the 2 and get the correct cover!

so there is 3/4 tall amount of RTV on top of the timming cover???????

 

I would have not bought this rig seeing that
