24 valve head.

Will a 4motion 24 valve head fit an odb2 block...

Any advice welcome.

Thanks

It wouldn't no, it would only work if you use a 24v bottom end too.

Its been covered on here a few times before. there is a difference in the oil galleries, head mountings and the timing chains.

I Would imagine the 24v pistons would have a different crown to the 12v,

The pictures are of a 24v head and a BDE bottom end. It would be easiest to go all 24v head and bottom end.

If you're going to do a complete engine swap with loom etc out of a mk4, why not stick an R32 engine in instead? Maybe a bit more to buy, but a bit more power and sounds better when you tell people what it is

That's the only benefit! Not worth paying stupidly more money for an extra few cc's IMO!

Are they really that much more for an R32 engine never really looked at them for sale before, wouldn't have thought they'd be too much difference in price.

That's it then.. 24v it is, save the money from buying an R32 engine, and buy supercharger instead

400cc larger is hardly an extra few cc's is it?! lol

Take it from me, an R32 conversion is LOADS more powerful than a 2.8 24V conversion.

Yeah 24V pistons are wedge of cheese shaped, see bungy's pictures. It's because the combustion chamber is in the head and for that kind of CC, you need a flat pistons that are also square to the valves. The 12V uses bowled pistons because the head is flat instead. The 24V's burn is far superior to the 12V's.
