Phase 1 ej22 cylinder head question


Recommended Posts

Hey fellas, my girl has a 1995 ej22 (in an 86 GL ) :-)

Well the cylinder head needs to be replaced due to a stripped spark plug thread.

My question is, it's the passengerside head and i have a 92 ej22 that i can take the head off of.

There can't be any reason i can't use a 90-94 head am i right?

Yes a thread insert is going to be a much better option. And they're just as reliable (provided it gets done properly etc)

 

But you can't just you a regular helicoil. They make special helicoils for sparkplugs.

 

They get stacked in place to prevent them from coming out.

Cam profiles changed in 95. The rockers are roller follower instead of solid. So the Cam needs to stay matched.

 

so you will want to swap over the cam, and rockers from the current engine onto the older head.  If you go that route and the thread insert doesn't work.
