January 17, 200818 yr Simple question. I'm looking for a manual for my 82 4wd GL Wagon, and i am unsure about the size of the engine. Any advice appreciated.
January 17, 200818 yr Well, I'm sure there are other ways...But on the heads you should find a casting number, EA71 being a 1600 and EA81 being the 1800. There are probably easier ways though.
January 18, 200818 yr 82 GL 4WD would be an EA81. They didn't put EA71's in the 4WD GL's after 81. GD
January 18, 200818 yr Author 82 GL 4WD would be an EA81. They didn't put EA71's in the 4WD GL's after 81. GD I knew it was an EA81 by the casting, but from this page it seems there are 2 versions of the EA81. No designation of which vehicle has what though.
January 18, 200818 yr I believe the first version of the EA81 was the fat case EA71, but 'm not totally sure about that, but your car being a GL, I'm pretty sure it has the standard EA81 motor.
January 18, 200818 yr Big valve/small valve, yeah. 83+ has larger intake valves. They rated them 1 HP higher. 83/84 Auto's and all 85+ have hydro lifters. GD
January 18, 200818 yr 1800 it is then, thanks for the replys. That page is poorly layed out, and possibly incorrect on a couple points. I think you are under the impression that there is a size difference in the EA81's. That is incorrect. EA81 = 1800cc EA71 = 1600cc ALWAYS. GD
January 18, 200818 yr Author I was indeed under that impression. Thank you for clearing that up. Oh well if anyone reads this with a DL there is a 1982 1600 FSM on ebay for 10 bucks BIN.
January 20, 200818 yr 1600 (ea71) have a light blue valve cover, While 1800(ea81) has A more green or sea green color to it. Thats the main way I always tell. Jeff
