The heads and block of the HO and Renix are compatible and interchangeable but you have to keep the intakes and exhausts with the heads they came with.
Check your vacuum and make sure you don't have any leaks. Listen for hissing. The intake gasket may be leaking. The intake bolts could be loose also causing a vacuum leak.

Yes, I believe they are all pretty close. I have bought all three of these brands and I have not had any problems. I think Four Seasons specializes in heating and cooling, Hayden is mainly fans ect. and Omix-Ada I think makes all kinds of different parts. Most of the stuff I have bought lately for my XJ AC has been Four Seasons brand.
If you use a site like Autozone.com you can look up the part and get the info needed to match it up on Amazon. Autozone.com gives a lot of specs and measurements ect. so you can use that info to lower the chance of getting a wrong part. I know how much is sucks to wait for a week or more to find out it's the wrong part. UGH!!!!
lol
I hope this helps. If you ever have questions about fitment or anything else on parts, let me know. I don't mind doing some research for you or directing you to a site that can help.

This is my cat, and I had a lot of rattling underneath so I checked it out and found this silver thing on top of it. There was a matching one that was underneath but I took it off a while ago because it was about to fall off. Clearly it was my rattling problem because it wasn't held down at all. But I was going to ask if this is my heat shield?

And as for a replacement the ones on catalytic converters are usually welded to the body of the cat. I'm sure you could find a generic replacement shield though to just strap on.

Anybody else had this problem with their turn signals? I have a 2001 XJ sport. When I am driving and making a turn the blinker just turns off. Left and right turns while the switch is still engaged. It will blink 2 or 3 times then just stops. Or sometimes wont blink at all. Is this a relay or fuse or something? It was working fine for as long as I have had it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
