does anyone have a std 1uz head handy ??

[ed]

im looking at putting together a cast manifold for one of these engine, and im just fiddling with the axis of the manifold port, and figure it might be worth getting some hard numbers from someone actually with one of these haeds to go and measure... funny that!

anyway, have alook at the diagram below. each bank sits at 45deg, and the plane of the manifold mounting surface is pitched out from that axis about 15deg. can someone actually check what that number is though? either from the axis of the bank, or from true horizontal?

secondly, from what i recall, the axis of the port in the head doesnt meet the plane of the manifold flange exactly at 90deg. it seems to be inclined a little towards the centre of the engine. similarly, i dont think the axis of the fuel injectors is also 90deg to the plane of the flange, it appears inclined something line 5-10deg towards the outside of the engine. can someone possibly quantify those observations?



based on those two things above, we'll make a call where to orient the axis of the manifold above the port. gut feeling is 5-10deg more inclined towards the centre of the engine than what the plane of the flange is. ive drawn 90deg on the pic below as the 'proposed axis' but im really thinking something like 80-85deg.

could someone with a head handy have a look and put some numbers to the above observations?

I'll see if I can have a looksee over the weekend, engine is coming out of the Soarer, and the lower intake manifold is already off.

ive got a set of bare heads, but nothing to measure angles with O_o

nathan, if youve got the lower manifold off already... reckon you could get a simple measurement off it for me? im after the distance from one side to the other, measured from the mounting holes to the head. ie how wide is it at the mounting points?

and generally speaking, looking at it, do the injectors sit dead vertical in the manifold, or a little bit inclided outwards? reckon you could fire off some end-on pics?

I shall add it to "The ListTM".

I've got a whole engine minus a few bits that you can have for $100.

I'll see if I can get some measurements off it anyway. If it doesn't have too much shit piled on top of it.

can you sent it to germany?

quick question...

whats the size/depth of the injector hole in the manifold? the bit where the rubber grommet sits? should be about 16mm x 5mm if my calculations are correct. can comeone possibly confirm that?

edit: PS am pretty sorted for original measurements required from first post now ... thanks!
