Nug Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Can the heads from a 93 2.2 be swapped to a 98 2.2? Got a text from someone on the BA/BE Rally. It may be a serious problem, maybe rhetorical. In any case, will this combo make the engine run? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Off the top of my head the 98 will want the ER plumbing. The hard metal line on the back of the engine. But my memory isn't the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! it will run, the heads will work, but it will not have the needed egr system so you'll have a cel. but if it is a rally car it may not matter.

Nug Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 OK good. The car in question is a 58 Wartburg 311. EJ22, VW rear, Porsche 914 front end. Left on BA/BE Rally this morning, started spewing oil from oil pump area. The head question is rhetorical at this point, as it's questionable if the car will carry on. It's back at home in NJ. The car will be in the 24 Hours of Lemons on the 18-20th if anyone will be near Summit Point WV and wants to see a spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Car is running again with another lifter-ticky 2.2. He's contemplating driving from NJ to AL to catch up with the rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
