reamanufatured head

Post by **Master_Tao** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 2:29 pm

ok, so I was just browsing automotive machine & supply and they have a ca18de remanufactured head for a 87 pulsar I was just wondering if it would work on my ca18det?

Thats who I had bore and balance my bottom end.. (built it myself)

Hrm, that says ca18 and ca16, so I'm not sure hwich it is...

if its a FWD CA18DE head it should be interchangable, although you'll have to swap parts from existing RWD stuffs (unless you have a FWD) i.e. the EGR **** (look at left side of the head image).. if CA16DE not interchangable

Remember that the USDM heads have a port in the #4 exhaust port for EGR whereas the JDM head's don't.

nah, upon closer inspection they're the same... if you have a JDM head to pull that plug from you'll be fine. your JDM head has the hole for the EGR just like the pulsar on the #4 runner it just has a plug!

nothing that I know of, I was just going to get one to be safe but I've been convinced by a friend that it's not necessary. I do need to know however what I should be checking for problems. I've also read about solid lifter upgrades. What are those all about? and one more question. what other head upgrades are availible for the ca18det?

Unless you've noticed something wrong its likely the only thing in your head that should need replacing is the spark plugs. As for solid lifters, they'd be the last "upgrade" you'd be considering, really only applicable for a 9K RPM race motor. They're noisy and need regular adjustment. You'd have tossed a fair amount of money at high lift cams and stiffer springs before they came into play.

Does your car run yet?

thanks for the info. I've been wondering just that for a while now. And sadly enough the engine does not run yet. I'm still about a month away from that.
