Howdja make the leads reach #1 and #3 ? I have just measured mine up to be longer than std EA82T as in 1075mm total length for #1 and 1215mm for #3 and they need straight terminals for the dizzy end. Working on eagleproducts to come up with a new listing based on my measures as current listing for 4WD Turbo Vortex is wrong for AWD 4WD Vorts or EA82TS (S is for spider)

Damn.. I never thought about the 22Bs engine as an EJ22T but I guess it's kinda the same The EJ22T (2 off them) are the US market SOHC engines.. not the DOHC ones like the 22B has. I can sell the 22B engine to Tristan but I feel the price may be a little to high for himTOONGA wrote:Sacrilege! Sacrilege! Sacrilege! Sacrilege! Sacrilege! Sacrilege!
I would think that the low compression in #1 & #3 would not be fixed with a set of leads... I feel only an EJ will fix thisTOONGA wrote:On a less spammy note:) I changed the HT leads for a set off an EA82 at the wreckers and while my engine is unwell, it is amazing the difference a newer (they are still bright blue) set of leads have made.
Now I just have to treat it kindly until Im ready to make some changes in the engine bay

The AWD setup is the reverse of the EJ's - that's why the pinion shaft is not interchangeable between the two, the L AWD pinion shaft is longer than the EJs...guyph_01 wrote:Whats so interesting?
Jules, personally not a fan of the desert rats on a vortex, I don't know why, I'm struggling to work it out, but I think it could be due to their simple "agricultural" design/ruggedness on the "refined" vortex...

Yeah it was either these or a custom set of those 17inch alloy rims that got that poor young brumby owner bagged off the boardEl_Freddo wrote:The AWD setup is the reverse of the EJ's - that's why the pinion shaft is not interchangeable between the two, the L AWD pinion shaft is longer than the EJs...

Iz can help out with a EA82T engine if required??TOONGA wrote:Gee thanks guys
It is official by the way, that the engine has either blown a head gasket or a cracked head, as the oil cap now has the dreaded clag glue coating.
