can a 94 mit eclipse and 93 eagle talon head be swapped?
found out my head is messed up so ima get a new one

 

[joe sobo]

yes the heads can be swapped as long as they are both from same engine sizes

 

[deerhunter0881]

2nd that they can

 

[frankenstein406]

are they both turbo or non? cause cams on turbo are better.

 

[BabyShanks]

well my talon is a 93 turbo tsi and i just need the head just needing to know if i was to get a head off a mit 94 does it have to come off a turboed engine? and does it have to be the same year?

 

[e85_4g63]

Only the 93 and 94 heads (turbo or non turbo, as long as both cars are 4g63 varients) are interchangable. The 1.8L motor (SOHC) won't fit on a 4g63 block. pre 92.5 4g63's are 6 bolts and have larger head studs, which, the cylinder head, will still fit, but I would use those as a last resort.

ive got a non turbo head on my 91 tsi left the cams in because i did some research and found out they have a higher lift than turbo cams car runs great

 

[BabyShanks]

thanks guys i knew the 1.8 liters wouldnt fit if thats what your talkin about only the 2.0s just needed to know if the non turboed heads would work for my turboed block

 

[BabyShanks]

now only other issue i have is the pistons are all level any ideas?

 

[-TunedDSM-]

Rotate the crank to bring piston one to TDC? I dont understand what your asking.

 

[joe sobo]

yes, its normal because if you look in the pic, they are at mid stroke. so if you brought number 1 to tdc, then you would see that 2 and 3 are down

 

[BabyShanks]

ok i know at some point the pistons will level out but are they all supposed to be at that level in the pic i know theres supposed to be 2 up and 2 down or is it just coincidence that they are all level when i took the head off.

but they ALL look level to me should i still check the crank?

Like just stated, your at mid stroke...A 1/2 inch drive will rotate the crank, you will notice they wont line up anymore...
