I have pretty much finished all those little jobs around the house , redone my camper van , done the garden etc
So when an old thread came up on here the other day if twin cam RB head fit on L-gata engine's it got me thinking ,
Found one on eBay just up the road and made a cheeky offer and it was mine , turns out he was very fed up with time wasters and knew my car , so was happy for me to have it for pretty cheap,
I have a spare L24 with the head off in my workshop and looks like I'm not going back to work for another 3 weeks so can have a look at mocking it up and work out a plan,
Anyways here it is RB20DET head
Comes with cam's , rocker covers and even an old head gasket , put the L-series gasket up to it last night and head bolts line up and combustion chambers to , oil drain isn't far off but not sure about the head oil feed , gonna clean it up today and get the L24 block on the engine stand,
Here is the E88 with the RB head gasket on it,
Been doing some reading and found some YouTube videos featuring cars in Japan with RB heads , not sure how to overcome the cam drive problem yet , convert the head to chain or convert the L-series to belt ?
Either way its should give me something to do over the next few weeks and a bit on an engineering challenge to keep me busy,
Plan is run some DCOE's for now maybe ITB's later , I did find a adaptor plate that allows Mikuni's to bolt up to the inlet manifold,
So if anyone has links or anything that could help just post them up , all help appreciated ,
