lepo5 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Can anyone tell me where i can can find out if my 79 cav has been converted to run on unleaded fuel? SWP838V, Thanks Josh I would say probably not, unless at some point someone has changed the head, on the later 2.0 models, 1985 onwards came with unleaded heads as standard and were identified by a stamp on the cyl head beside plug number 2 on a flat spot, which should read (P2E) if it's unleaded spec, and if is not, it will either have no stamp or one with (XR2 or 3) which means its not suitable for unleaded, and with yours being a 79 cav i would say it will not have a stamp, one of the options is to have the head taken to an engine builder and have hardened seats put in for the valves which would be expensive, or source (P2E) head, i would have helped you out there , as i bought some P2E heads off of someone on here, but got ripped off, no heads or my money back despite asking several times, but im sure someone will be along shortly and offer you one if thats the route your going.

1900SR Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That's the ex Keith Adams car, you could try contacting him via http://www.aronline.co.uk/ . He may know more history on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
