detent finally somone got it LOL ,, these boxes are rather simple to rebiuld i have done many ,(beeing a gearbox rebiulder lol) the biggest problem is the keys are a simple disgn that cant take hard shfting and becom brittle and break,,

also it the input bearing is worn i can cause excessive float and simply let the keys fall out ,, i have seen this in vls to lol

i wouldnt buy a secondhandy as you dont know what your getting ,

cheers .

I reckon they're a bit of a pain trying to gett that bearing out of the sandwich plate to pull apart the main shaft is quite the sticklerhad to modify my tools( grind!!!). If it was cast iron was going to press it lucky i didn't as they're pretty brittle being aluminium, you got a special tool or what Gtrgodzilla67???

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
