Thanks for the quick reply symes :y
Actually both those engines are fitted to the 4 pot 2.2 omega, but I need to know if they share the same cyl. head, cams, valves etc :-\

One is chain driven, the other belt.

not sure about cams--as one engine is for 4x4---so could be different--is it a case of head gone or something?

The only noticeable difference between them are the ECU and the inlet diameter is a whopping, or even humungous 1mm bigger ::) ;D

Hi Rob, thanks for that :y
So could I fit a Y22XE cyl. head onto a Z22XE block and reconnect existing electrics/electronics without any fuss :-\ ;)
