What I'm facing here... I have a 94 Ex. 5 speed with a cracked right head. I have a 92 Ex. 5 speed for parts with under 200 K. i also have a 92 Ex auto with 260 K. I don't really want to buy brand new heads, I've heard stories about putting new heads on older engines. So I'm thinking about taking the heads off the 92 and putting them on the 94. I am taking the heads to get shaved down to ensure a good fit, but here are some things I don't know.
1. Which rocker arms should I use? Both sets appear to be good. Do I take the 92 rocker arms with the heads and put them on the 94? Or should I only take the heads, and re-use the 94 rocker arms?
2. Which pushrods should I use? Keep the 94 pushrods? Use the 92 pushrods? I know it says make sure they go back in the same locations, but what if I use the 92 rocker arms?
3. Apparently 91-92 are bad for heads, 93-94 are better, but my 93 has 260 K. Would those heads be better than the 92 with 190 K?
Any and all input will be taken into consideration and greatly appreciated. I will keep you updated on how things work out.
