aa8jz Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Man I hope this not the first time this has happened. Some one else must have been this unattentive. Son #3 and I have just put an ea 82 back in 93 Loyale. Shot head gaskets. All things going good until it comes to the egr 90 deg elbow. Heads are reversed. #$%@!**&^ etc. and then some. Can I plug passages and run this way? Any other uniqueness from right to left that will screw me up. Will it run at all? Let's just keep this one a secret eh boys? rick and phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 The carb heads are symmetrical, they on either side. Turbo heads will too, but there is a little work involved getting them to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Did the same thing on a VW project (not the one in my sig). After cursing for a while, I took the elbow, cut it in half, brazed the ends shut, installed and ran it. No problem (unless you are trying to pass an emissions test).
