24v conversion

Using 166 engine as base:

Hi , few guys have asked in lastvfew months for step by step procedure of what's involved in this conversion . Note the 164 24v is slightly easier to do . Note if using a GTA crank it will scrape slightly onto sump by 2mm by one of the rod bolts. So always hand turn motor when assembled to check .
166 24v 3.0 engine(Chain Driven oil pump) summary into 116 GTV
1)Rear crank spacer 3mm
2)Sump pan spacer 20mm or custom sump
3)Oil filter stud 20x1.5 - need to tap and glue in with EXTREME strength epoxy- make sure use oil filter with matching pitch and thick o-ring as steel rim of filter catches block . Note the centre on oil channel on block is not recessed like the 164 so don't use nut on stud . It will catch filter.
4)Alternator bracket and std gtv alternator with spaced pulley wheel . Use original attachment to block with only 2 bolts. Use a 5pk belt.
5)Water Reticulation - block heads at back, machine alm bracket at front to attach gtv (modified thermostat housing) for the short pipes. Don't take to much off as it will weaken. Can alos tap off the back with 6mm pipe .
6) Press trigger wheel onto pulley. Either machine thin so alternator belt does not touch or space water pump pulley by 5mm. This is ok if us 5pk belts
7)Custom exhausts
8) Custom plennum
9)Make sure breathers are connected to both banks.
10)Should move oil filler cap with extension away from brake booster between cam lobes to avoid leaking out cap from splashing.
11) Engine mounts - tap into block
12) New ecu
I will edit as I remember other mods. Also note you can take water out back of engine and pipe to front . I preferred not to .
Will also try find pics as well.
