I know the FG block is stronger over the B series one but is it the same block used in both applications? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't really tell you though mate as I haven't really looked at them in depth. I will be doing some work on my car in about a month and I'll be taking both motors apart so I can have a look then and update with some solid info and pics. I seem to recall reading that the heads have slightly different chambers between the bf and fg but I'm not 100% on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mr. Atomic would know, might give him a bell. Only asking is there a low km FG at a wrecker and It would be easier for me at the moment to buy that and drop it off with my goodies to the reconditioner. Rather than rip mine out at the moment if you catch my drift. Edited 12/03/18 06:34 AM by tazzanz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A workshop is going to have a much better idea of what you should be doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
