are they all the same from 98 and up . i can get a head off a 98 for cheap to fix up for turbo and i have a 2001 sunfire 2200 .... the head is off a 98 2200 . but i heard somethin about the egr valve bein different . can someone please help me ... whats the different and is the swap possible if so what do i have to do
from '98 to '02 the 2200 engine is all the same. The EGR thing you are thinking about is for the 2.4 DOHC engine.
not true, the 98 had an EGR valve that was removed in 99
can i still use the head and just put a plate over the egr port? will everything run the same ?
98 head has a diff. casting number from the 99+, It has an EGR and 10mm rocker studs (not that thats a big deal) the 99+ have 8mm.
so what would i need to do to match it with the 2001 block?
the head bolts up to the 01 block ?

and the 2 heads i have here (98 and 2002) are calling you WRONG
the 98 head should go onto any 2200 block just fine, The diff in the base size of the rockers make no diff in anything at all cept if you deside to get some aftermarker rockers then you would need to know if you needed 10mm or 8mm based studs. so recap...
98 head has 10mm rocker studs
99+ head has 8mm.
Daniel I sent you my zip bud
. Let me know so I can pay ya asap.
do i need a egr valve on my 01 ?
Daniel Boyd wrote:Well I could have swore they were the same..

. Not many people have realized this I dont think.
But did you get my e-mail bro? I need that cam ASAP

Na nothing like that, Who would think that GM built a head one way for one year only.
and Daniel thats cool bro, Im still gonna send mine off the Dave at crane as he already know everything i want done so all I need to do is ship it to him.
do the 99 + 2200 have a egr valve???
o ... lol ok . thanks man i appreciate it
For the EGR all you have to do is bolt the block off plate onto your new head from your old head, and you might want to get a new gasket.

What does that mean. By me just takin some rockers out of a 98 2200 that is not physical. I just simply mean I could have swore.But I guess not..
Haha, dont take offense to that bro, he was just kiddin around
Phlatcav:
When I built my 2200 I bought a spare '98 engine, then when it came time to do the swap I just unbolted the three bolt plate from the back of my '99 head, and bolted it right onto the '98 head
I'll see if i can find you a pic l8r
