new 230 engine..
will this fit into my existing 230ge, onto existing gearbox and all other bits and bobs. oil filter is slightly different from what ive noticed!
yes, sump is different, and the oil filter housing, and I think the water pump but other than that, cheap if you can get you hands on it, and will be faster than your G 230 engine. sweet engine that 230, go on forever.
Hi its got the wrong flywheel and people will tell you that the flywheel needs to be balanced at the factory..since there are no locating pegs and the bolt holes are equally spaced there are many options to fit it "out of balance" also I remember something about the starter of the auto engine not fitting the G'...much more aggro than a just head gasket if your not mechanically minded
Doing a head gasket is not so difficult. You have just done the front swivel hubs so a head is no more tricky. Just take your time and note where things go before ripping it apart. Dig cameras make reassembly more straight forward.
I suggest no more difficult to do a head gasket than a swap to a non G 230
cheers roly, maybe my next photo workshop eh!?
