I've searched and searched. So i am asking the age old question.
I finally found a 2.0 block that i am gonna build up. Put on my big vavle ported 1.8 head with my weber 44idfs. So who's got the details such as gaskets, belts, pullys, etc.
Or should i ask what parts are Not the same. when it comes to gaskets, pullys and parts?
do i need a 2.0 head gasket
what about the timing belt
timing belt tensioner
flywheel
do i need to plug anything?
is felpro the best head gasket?
who has the best other gaskets?
I hate leaks and I ain't cheap.

Re: 2.0 block with 1.8 head Help
yeup need a 2L gasket,I'd believe they are the same as a 1800 gasket though.
I've asked for feldpro and put that on my 2l with the 1800 head,works great so far (touch wood) The gasket had a thin red strip on one side that when torqed down I think helped with the seal. I thought the 1800 head had air ports/holes on the exhaust side that had to be plugged. I cut off 4- 12 X 1.25 mm bolts and cut a slot in the top and screwed those in, I remember reading here some would use the wheel bolts as well in the same manner.
Flywheel.. I had a few pounds taken off mine.. I like it and had it balanced to the crank.
Sounds like your gonna have a beut of an engine, hope all goes well and no issues ensew.
