Has anyone ever delt with putting an accord head on the prelude block?
the pair i have now will not work together due to a different location of the oil jet. is there any solution to this problem short of getting another block?
The story is , i bought the car for $10. the head was off of the engine.
I figured no problem , i'll just "put it back on". well obviosly the head was warped so i got another from a friend. when i went to put the head on, i set the gasket in place and noticed the oil jet was holding up the gasket in the back. :rocket: The jet is in the wrong place IE:in front of the center head bolt rather than behind. :mad: can this be fixed by welding the hole on the head closed and re-drilling the jet into the head bolt channel? Or is there any one who wants to trade an 87 lude' block for an accord block? :lol:
