Anyone have or know where i could get hold of a cylinder head for a 2.2 16v petrol engine? One with bent valves would even be ok?

Hmm, judging by the numbers of these engines fitted to stuff its perhaps going to be a bit of fun finding bits at the right price!

Did the timing belt on my uncles v6 last year and although it looks a bit daunting its not a bad job. The tensioner supplied now will be different to the original one, much easier to set, just a case of lining up two marks, lock it, turn engine over a few times with crank bolt then re check marks on...

It does look very similar to the 2 litre but are a few differences, seems to be an oil feed thats not on 2 litre and 2.2 has variable valve timing and not sure whether 2 litre has.

Think easiest route may be to find a replacement head if i can find one! Don't seem to be too many of these engies about!

Hi all new to the forum although not to 406's, last one being a D9 v6 which i loved! I have recently bought a 2.2 sri, petrol version with a snapped timing belt, don't have any knowledge on these engines apart from they don't seem too common, been trying to source parts to fix it! Not stripped to in...
