swapping a 97 0331 head onto an 01 block, and the 97 head is missing the bolt hole for the idler pulley. any ideas? help! all work has come to a standstill!
well, the bill says 97 head... help johhny we are at brendan's and stuck!xjohnnyc said:You sure about that Mike? A 97 should have the 0630 head.
we are putting a 97 0630 head onto a 01 block that had a 0331 head on it. we need to figure out how to mount the idler. i screwed up in my original post. too many beers its a good thing im not the one turning the wrenches, haha.BIGSLVRXJ said:What idler pulley are you referring to? The 96+ serpentine belt idler pulley bolts to the water pump with 2 bolts and into the block with 1 bolt, the head doesn't factor in at all. You're not by chance talking about the coil pack rail are you? That is the one modification I know of when putting a 0630 head where a 0331 used to be.
Set the Nasty Ice down and type Grimm . I'm still confused at where you're stuck...can you elaborate more? The idler pulley mounts to the power steering pump bracket below the pump itself. That power steering pump/idler pulley bracket mounts to the block and the water pump, but nowhere in there to the head.GrimmJeeper said:we are putting a 97 0630 head onto a 01 block that had a 0331 head on it. we need to figure out how to mount the idler. i screwed up in my original post. too many beers its a good thing im not the one turning the wrenches, haha.
Sorry Grimm, other than actually bypassing it somehow you've reached the end of my ideas. Could you put a 96+ XJ serpentine setup on it and eliminate the idler there altogether? Similar to this...GrimmJeeper said:game over? nobody ever put an 0630 head on a wj block?
i was going to call you today, i heard you were doing the same thing on a WJ this weekend. i guess you got it all figured outFergie said:Me think I'll hit the machine shop with both heads on monday, and have them drill a hole in the proper location, and call it good.
