are the ehaust ports matching the gasket for the intake and exhaust manifold there may be a difference for renix to ho?

 

OMG thanks so much its been one nightmare after another with this build. I am going grey everytime we go to do something on it. the new head came with that and the old one also had it on there so we are good there. THANKS A TON it was a used head

 

they all matched up but it was that stupid sensor that we were worried about

 

ok the two motors take different gaskets most likely the holes in the head are bigger than the manifolds if it was mine i would get the correct head for renix not to burst you bubble have you searced the 0331 head and its cracking problem ??

 

didnt even know about that prob. want a free jeep?

 

not all of them crack its a crap shoothttp://www.automotiveforums.com/t103...t_to_buy_.html

 

only if its 2dr and stick shift mine needs alittle brother

 

no its a 4 and auto. we started this thinking a motor swap would be easy and the guy sold us a bum motor. so we have been spending way to much time just trying to get it right!!! so i guess when the old man gets home i will let him know and we will go from there. these things need to come with warning lables on them

 

all vechicle have there quirks read about the head you might have a good one you never no theres alot of info on it

That's the sending unit for the temperature gage - deleted for 1996. The 2686 (1987-1990) and 7120 (1991-1995) heads had it, the 0630 and 03310 do not.

Check the head number - the 2686 head will not replace any other head (it bolts to the block, but the manifold setup is different,) and the 7120 and 0630 will not replace the 0331 (exhaust ports are larger than the primaries.) The head casting number can be found on the driver's side, outside the valve cover rail, on top, between the #3 and #4 exhaust ports (centre longwise.)

If you do not need the port and want to plug it, get a 1/8" NPT brass pipe plug at the local hardware store, coat the threads with PTFE or RTV, and tighten two flats past finger tight (about 1/3-turn with a wrench, once you've gotten it as far as your fingers will easily go.)

 

hes doing it the other way 0331 on renix

 

I wouldn't us a 0331 head for much more than a boat anchor... just saying.

 

If the #0331 doesn't have the TUPY foundry mark, cement is the best addition.

The later (TUPY) 0331 head is actually pretty good.

However, if you're going to adapt anything to RENIX, be prepared to do some work to at least get the intake lined up (I haven't gotten all of the parts I need to figure out just what and do a writeup at the moment. Workin' on it...)

 

I have a 2000 xj 4.0. Do they all have these heads?
