Reversed intake plumbing

[Toybox]

Can I get some pics of those who have reversed the intake manifold. In particular I'd like to see how you plumbed the ISCV and the PCV.

I just cant seem to keep things neat!

I know there have been a number of threads on this but it appears that the photo's have been lost when the server went down.

Much appreciated...

when we did one of our ones we also swapped the tappet covers - works really well. I think I might even have some photos - cheers

I'd be keen on this, I actually got as far as taking them off (the tappet covers) but they appeared to be different shapes. The one end has a long protrusion where it fits under the plastic covers over the timing belt...

Both tappet cover gaskets are they same part number. If fact the heads also interchange. The tappet covers will swap sides. Cheers

Agreed G, what I mean is that the covers themselves are slightly different front to back...

I run my heads on the opposite side to normal.

This gives me a rear dipstick.

My cam and spark plug covers are on the normal sides because:

* Cam covers will swap sides but the plug lead cutout is only on one end of the cover.

* The plastic spark plug wire bracket on the cover can't be swapped as the holes don't line up.

* If you swap the cam covers the spark plug covers have nowhere to bolt onto.
