Quick question re: 4age 20v

[stalker]

Just wanted to double check: (cause of my nubness )

1) The silver top 20v 4age engine...doesnt matter if its auto or manual, they are all the same engines aye?? (Ie. the bolt patterns of the bellhousing/gearbox)

2) A manual box will just bolt up to a factory auto engine??

cheers guys

[Rick]

I guessed as much, but knowing my luck, Id buy the engine and then be wrong...so I thought I better check


Thanx dude

Im sure you already know...

But you will need a manual flywheel to bolt the manual box to the motor.

Yea thanx, I already have the manual box/bell housing/fly etc, just an engine I found was an old auto one and wanted to find out that it would all bolt up before I waste my money on buying it

thanx for the heads up though...appreciate it

You will need flywheels bolts aswell.

Dont use the auto ones.

And you will need a spigot bearing.

And you will need a spigot bearing.

Spy what??

Its a bearing in the back of the crank for the gearbox input shaft to mate with. The standard RWD 4AGE bearing fits all 4AGEs. If not fitted the front gearbox oil seal dies and you get an oil leak.
