Manta Cyl Head info needed PLEASE?

[Gaz Pastor]

Can any of you kind blokes/blokesses tell me if:

the Vauxhall Opel bare cylinder head to suit the S1.8NV/1.8SV engine (as used in the Carlton Mk3, Astra MK2, Cavalier MK2 and some early Cavalier MK3) is compatible with a 1988 Manta 1800 ohc engine from the Exclusive GT/E Hatch? 

Part Number Vauxhall 90271224, Opel 607189

 

Many thanks in advance for any help/advice!

It will technically fit but you could have issues with inlet ports in wrong place and compression ratio too high

. Have your head reconditioned or find a 1.8 astra gte head on astramk1 club forum.

Talk to snowy on here he has recently been working on this engine its years since i have.

Pm me if you want all the details on which heads you can use and what mods you need to carry out to make them fit 

 

Thanks

If I was looking for a better head which is easy to fit I would go for this one. A bolt on job.
