fitting a AJ16 head to a AJ6 4 Litre

Postby Girlie » Thu Aug 10, 2017 8:41 am

Some time ago there was an article in J.E.C. mag.about swapping heads on a AJ6, can anyone remember the issue numbers. My 93 convertible smokes on start up so the head will have to come off anyway. I hope the new head with valves and camshafts will be a better option then refurbishing the old head. I hope some one will be able to help.

don't know the article

but you will also need to change the exhaust manifolds, as the stud pattern changed between the two ,
