To be fair, I wasn't really wrong, I said I didn't know!

Hello again,

so the swap is done, but the result is this:

YouTube - SR20DE - RR bottom end, highport head, rod-knock

:-(

We will be dropping the oil pan at the weekend, so I'll post more pictures and info then.

no, we just swapped the head on to the RR engine, but it should have about 100k miles, the only problem is that it has been stored for three months maybe more and it is possible it rained on it a bit.
