Selling off one (or bits

) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

As title really folks, Id like a spare head so I can get it reconditioned etc then swap over, or engine if anyone has one.
Feel free to all pipe up with the many 2.0 engines you all have squirreled away

I have a 2.0 TCT head for you. But I won't be in the UK for a while.

I don't know

But there are others that know for sure. I've got the feeling they don't fit even though they are both 8 valvers..

I very much doubt the cylinder heads are the same and the engines otherwise look totally different! Regards, Matthew T.

2.0 8v heads are identical between nasp and turbo, no difference whatsoever, so swap away camshaft and all.
I have a spare cylinder head, ive got two spare actualy but i would want reasonable funds to part with them as they are my long term spares stash.
In the not too distant i may be buying a G reg 2.0i manual that will be broken so if that deal goes ahead i wouldnt be too bothered about parting with one but i take it you need it asap?

I am surprised to hear that Dean but no doubt you are correct and I have only owned the turbo version myself! With regards, Matthew T.

Matthew, the only difference is extra oil feeds to supply the turbo and piston cooling jets, pistons to change the CR and................thats it really. Interestingly, or maybe not! but the tct oil pump is larger (about 30ish% so) but geared at about 1/3 the speed of the nasp version??????
Having said all this i am just going to measure the camshaft lobes as i have a feeling they have a longer lift now i come to think of it.
Cyl head is 100% the same though.
