i have a friends 96 sohc sitting in my driveway that broke a timing belt.....i figure the valves are bad so he found a head from a 95 for free.....but will a 95 head fit on a 96????
i would of thought it would, but im noticing alot of headgasket sets that are for either just a 95, or a 96-99
i just wanna know before i go through the work of getting the other head.....and i need to know which gaskets to get
Wouldn’t there be issues with the PCV system as well?
What about just swapping the valves into the original head, re-lap the valves so they seal properly and they should be fine as long as the head isn't damaged..
no issues with the pcv system cause on the 95's it was all on the block. if he runs the 96 valve cover then he would need to cap off the pcv nipples on the valve cover and just use the stock system on the block. now when i intially switchedvalve coversi ran a 2001 valve cover on my 95 and i deleted the 95 style crank case breathing system and made a catch can set up rerouted back into the intake like on the stock 96+ cars.
