2.5i head question

[slo325i]

What are these holes for? What screws into them? It's a 2.5i 885 head. Thanks.

It is for the oil spray bar, have you been running without it?

[slo325i]

oh no no...I'm just finishing up the 2.7i swap.

I'm glad you told me this. What does that part look like??

Damn... is this a part that I could go to local parts store and pick up???

It's just a tube with holes in it over each cam lobe/rocker with fittings on each end. Yes an easy junkyard part, your old head should have it, no??

[slo325i]

Well i have one from the eta head... would it be the same part?? I hope so... Let me take it off and try it. Thank you.

[whodwho]

Same Part # for an eta, definitely don't want to get it at the dealer...$82 for a tube...

Part #1

haha... i won't be going to the dealer... I'm at work and can't verify with the eta head now. I'll let you know this after noon. Thank you.

the tube is the same on all m20s, and no parts stores will carry it

It fits! and the swap is done.

It took a few cranks for the fuel to reach all the injectors but when it did, it came alive.

All I can say is wow.... it's nice to rev high. Was getting real sick of the eta motor.

Thanks for all the help R3v!!!
