Different Generation 3SGTE Interchangable parts

[Howieau]

Hey,

Ive got a whole load of spare parts here from a gen2 3sgte and gen1 3sgte and was thinking I have that much spare that I might be able to put together another engine with it but need to know a couple things first;

Can you;
Put a gen 2 headgasket on a gen 1 block/head?
Put gen 2 std rod bearings into gen 1 rods?
Put gen 2 pistons onto gen 1 rods?

Many thanks.

you can even interchange drivetrain parts between Gen2 and Gen3, but that's another story.

yup all of the above is very true, now if only i had enough cash to carry all the spares just because i can

Cheers Guys....

Also, can you put a Gen 2 3sgte crank into a Gen 1 3sgte block??

Do oil seals fit main and rear? Or are there any possible issues to look out for??

Thanks again.
