Nice, I’ll be following this!
I haven't seen a DSM with an engine in the trunk since back in the day when Vinny Singh put one there. Looking forward to the build.
Lol I know that. It just brought back some memories. Looks like a solid car.Oh no, the car is not a rear engine powered, it was just thrown in the trunk when it was shipped.
Likewise..Hell yeah. Thanks dude. Should be interesting for sure. I have never torn down an engine before so looking forward to the learning curve.
Looks pretty clean, all in all. Taking on that scope of project (engine in the trunk) would be too much commitment for me, but as others have said, looking forward to following your progress posts.
That's a head from a 2.4L. I would check the block as well. The whole thing might be a 2.4L. Looking into it a bit further because it confused me a bit. That's a 7 bolt head but that stamping screams 2.4L which was only available in DOHC, correct me if I'm wrong, on the Galant?
Edit. I think I'm wrong about it being a 2.4L. Further research leads me to believe this may be an EVO 1 head.
I see what you did there.Thank you for the heads up.
So looked at it again and it is a hybrid of a 1G and 2G which makes me thing it’s def an Evo head. It has the thermostat housing of a 1G but runners and exhaust stud sizes of a 2G. Either way it’s going on the shelf since I have plans to use the magnus intake I bought years ago haha. Glad you caught my little pun too haha. Just came to me off the top of my head last night..I see what you did there.
Also, the thermostat housing bolt pattern looks like a 2g as well. Check the exhaust manifold bolt sizes. 2g will have 2 larger ones on the outside.
You are 100% correct. Came that way from sitting in the trunk hahaha. No biggie though since the plan is to replace them all with aluminum.WP pulley looks bent
Definitely looks more like a 7 bolt to me.I've never seen a EVO head like that - the waterneck looks interesting. Not what I have on a 1G head, and looking more like a 2G.
