I'd say go for it,done mine in 2005 and not had a bean of trouble with the old girl,forget the early HD's, (they went in the bin :D ),ideally you want the HIF6,HS is ok but 3/4 to full throttle it felt like you were going backwards,first thought that might be the autobox but the HIF proved...

Stunning looking car,reminds me of my factory black S1, 588 KX sadly stolen and never recovered.

Your tc head will fit the sc block,no probs Just be aware that if the donor engine is from an automatic the spigot bearing in the end of the crankshaft needs changing.

I think this is the definitive proof you are looking for, 2200 head by CharvilChancer, on Flickr What else would cause the tops of some of the valves to be flattened over like this :?:

I'll save you the trouble, :lol: I am in the process of rebuilding a 2000sc engine that had a 2200tc head fitted and I can tell you that the valves do indeed foul the top of the bore by a few thou, There is also evidence around the edges of the valves that contact has occurred,when the car...

It's very very nice 8) I spotted it again today but I didn't have my camera with me so no pics :oops:

I thought it was satire,certainly made me laugh :lol:

I don't think it's Connor either,for starters,Connor had the door handles the right way up !! :lol:

If it were the big ends there would be a pronounced knock coming from the bottom, of the engine,this is a light "tap" coming from the top of the engine so is probably excessive valve clearance on one or two valves,or possibly a leak on the exhaust manifold where it joins to the frontpipe,

Thanks guys, Spent the day tinkering with Hermy,sorted that annoying misfire at idle,cleaned the interior after the recent weldathon,checked the tyres,fluids and topped up the washer bottle :lol:

Hi guys :D , The cast iron SC manifold will NOT fit the TC head,although the bottom bolt holes line up the tops don't, I think the easy option would be to find a 2000/2200SC engine as it's pretty much a straight swap although you have to bear in mind that if you use a manual engine the spigot...

The cable connects to the front carb and is linked to the rear carb by a the cranked rod which in turn operate two levers that are connected to the main jets inside the carb body,when the choke knob is pulled out the levers move the main jets down and richen the mixture, HD8 002 by...
