Hey you stole my car:banana: But mines not a turbo and thats the way it looked when I moved from AZ to PA. I had about 700 pounds of stuff in my car on the way back:clap: I have only seen 4 in this color now. Is that a factory sun roof?

Yeah, sunroofs were a factory option on at least the '85 year. I had a GL with the digital dash and factory sunroof, and very little rust... engine went and I got rid of it, which I now regret.

 

I think that's more than 700lbs. I've had 1,000 lbs of batteries (14 golf cart batteries, 86lbs each) in mine, and it didn't squat down that low. Awfully slow on hills though

None of them. All EA, EJ, and EG engines have belts. So they are full of $hit. EA81's and earlier are gear driven.

Actually, the new H6s do have timing chains. They used them so they can make the total length of the engine smaller. The chain is smaller that a belt.

correct. just as GD said, all EA82, EJ and EG (EG33, SVX motor) had belts.

 

the EZ30s have chains. that way they're only one inch longer than an EJ22E

The EJ25 Belt is so Huge... Its unbelieveable.... woah big word to type.. who knows if i got it right.... i have to go liedown.

I thought the new H6 engines (EJ33?) had a timing chain? Obviously this isn't one of those though....

I thought the ER27 had chains. But I'm not sure.

I've seen a cut away EZ30 on a cut away auto trans. And it did have timing chains..

Althought I thought the EG33 also had chains..

ER27 has the same front end setup (water pump, timing belts, cam sprockets, oil pump etc. etc.) as an EA82. also pistons, rods, and valves.

 

ditto EG33 to an EJ22.

 

 

here's a cool piece of trivia....did you know an EG33 is closed deck? AND has the same bore as an EJ22....so custom pistons would be easy.
