[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 185912, member: 2409"] I have to confess I have gotten cold feet on modding my 1200 heads for 1100 cam and rockers :nea: . Having drilled and tapped the oil passages on the right head I put plugs in both spots and put air pressure to the oil supply hole. I expected to have no air leakage but was getting air escaping from my new passage to feed the 1100 rockers. Got is sealed up with sealant on the plug threads. Decided I wanted to go with the 1100 cam/rockers so took the plug out to the base of the centre bolt. Put the 1100 cam/rockers in place. Without dowels you have to play around getting the rocker assembly front/back surfaces to line up with the head surfaces...not ideal just relying on the tightness of bolts to keep it in place :nea: . Then I started on the left head. Took off the 1200 rockers/cam but couldn't get the dowels out...they are really stuck. Started attacking them with pliers, then I thought, this is really stupid :Doh2: ; I could screw up my 1200 heads and I could screw up the 1100 rockers/cams by not using the dowels. Also, if I can get it to run nice with the 1200 heads I can have a complete 1100 engine that I could sell. So I am going back to the original plan of using the 1200 heads in OE form. Brian [/QUOTE]
