[Inter911]

A while ago I picked up supposedly a 2.4T long block rebuilt to 2.4S. The price was right and I wanted to run it in my car while I pulled the supposedly 2.4T out to rebuild. I say supposedly because both of these engines have been apart.

Finally getting around to R&R the engines and I notice that the 2.4T that was in my car has much smaller intake ports than the 2.4T rebuilt as an S has. The ports on the engine in the car measure about 1.2" while the ones on the long block measure about 1.4". The heads on the long block look untouched but someone obviously tried to open up and port the heads on one side only of the 2.4T in the car. Why only one side...who knows? Why would you use 13mm nuts on all stud cept 1 and put a 12mm nut on? Why would you use nuts that obviously from a bicycle wheel in some spots?

All found on this engine in the car. Obviously a hack job. But it ran pretty good. Anyway, without tearing them down...any ideas?
