K Series - knowledge required!

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

2003 53 plate MG ZT (Raver 75), 1.8T with a buggered cylinder head. Mixing oil and water PLUS severe wear on the end cam bearings. The head is fucked, basically.

 

Very few 1.8T heads around, but lots of regular non turbo ones.

 

So.........how different are the two heads, and will a regular 1.8 non VVC head fit and work?

 

TIA.

The heads for turbo and non-turbo are coming up here with the same part number.

 

Oops! Forgot to say part number is LDF109390

I'm given to believe that the heads of both the non-VVC and the VVC are the same and that only the gubbins bolted to them differ

Many Tanks gents. Is there an online 'realOEM' type MG Rover parts website then?

Dunno mate, I have an EPC on a disc. Any numbers you need give me a shout. (Works off reg or chassis number for accuracy)

All (later type that your car would be fitted with) heads are all the same, turbo, non-turbo, and across engine sizes.VVC is totally different.

 

I do have a very clean head from a 1.8turbo sat in my garage, someone has asked me for it, but if that falls though...
