I am going to repalce my engine block as cylinder 3 has got damaged.

Question: The 200T has a different cylinder head to the saloon model
i.e. the calmshaft is heavier. Can I use a saloon engine and my own
cylinder head to make a new engine as I have access to a saloon engine
but cannont locate one for a 200T.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The car is a 200T 124 series 1998 model. I am posting from Ireland.

Thanks Dom.

Dom,

In my opinion is the only reason for the heavier cam the mounting of the
hydraulic pump for the levelling of the rear axel. It should be
possible to change only the cam and leave the cyl-head on.

Good luck
