Need new head for 86 2.2 coupe. Any sugestions
Yep
I had a termsotat problem and my car has overheated. Since i had some pressure building up in my expansion tank i though it was my heasd gasket. Now that i know it a nice big crack between the two valve of the cylinder 5 it make sense that the smoke coming out of the coolant wasnt only from a blown gasket.
Im in the Ottawa area I know there is a euro scrape yard in Hull area but I dont knoe the name. Is there anyone with a spare head for a 2.2 coupe? Would a 20 valve fit on my motor or is there some modification i should do.
Maybe I should buy a new car and when i got more cash swap the Coupe, but theres 239 000 km. Decision decision
Thanks your help.

take the head off and make sure the pistons are ok
last overheating head crack i saw made the top of three of the pistons look like they'd had an unfortunate run in with a shotgun. Otherwise, Blau has a modified sport head that's supposed to make all the difference in the world power wise, but it's something like $1300 US. The 20v heads can be adapted to the blocks, but i doubt it would work without taking the whole engine to a machine shop.
