I4 inlet manifold again

[deezee]

Grabbed some photos. It certainly has a slimmer manifold.

Thanks for that Deezee, I am hoping the 8 valve version looks very similar, if it does then I will be one happy bunny It looks like the thermostat housing is in a different position, on the 8 valve it is part of the inlet manifold. I am assured that the I4 engine from my donor is the same as the 8 valve in the Galaxy so I should be ok. I have found one at a breakers so I guess I will know for sure when I receive it.

Those 2nd sets of photos of just the engine, are the 2ltr 8 valve version. Its the engine out of a MK1 Galaxy.

The thermostat I had on a stripped down Sierra DOHC was in the same place as those photos of the galaxy engine thermostat?

Hi again Deezee, is that not the thermostat housing at the back of the engine above the flywheel? On mine the thermostat housing is part of the inlet manifold, it sits at the front of the engine. Can't quite see from your photos if it is the same on the galaxy assembly or not.
Cheers,
Enoch.

Just looked at Haynes. I see what you mean about the thermostat being on the manifold? I got a load of stuff of a DOHC Sierra to convert my RS2000 engine into RWD format. The thermostat I have is exactly the same as the Galaxy one, yet its off a Sierra. Well actually the scrap fella said it was off a Sierra, but it had a RWD sump on it.

This engine was also found in scorpios, not sure if it had the same manifold. Doubt it though.
