How so by pointing out there is a cert process that is worth while investigating to make sure the engine swap is fully legal. It would be more of a moron to change an engine to larger size and not do your homework.

Over 20% increase in total HP from OEM ANY .increase of cc rating above OEM
Technically a 60thou rebore would make that engine illegal
Not got the figures at hand but the transplant would be something like 10% increase on torque (maybe 20% hp overall)
As long as everything is std & a direct bolt in, then theres a very big chance that insurence wouldn't be bothered with the difference. They generally only bother to question when the extra HPor poor fitment could have or did cause the crash

Yup provided you do your homework on the power difference its sweet.

Yep fair enough but . is it really worth a cert for a 400cc increase on a VAN motor. It's not a performance motor & I don't even think the factory ever did bring out a performance version of the Y series motors.
Other options are to get a reco head/ reco the std motor/ replacement 2Y motor (probably harder to find now then the 3Y or 4Y) & still not be much better if any better

Mate stop the attacks, you seem to do it very often and its not appreciated. What help have you provided other than picking on people to target.

I just get sick and tired of reading a post and johnf_456 is arguing about trivial shit - more often than not it is of no help to the question asker - I wonder wtf he is on here for if all he does is waffle on his useless crap - they guy is a f**king retard, lurking around like a homeless man naked in a trench coat waiting to flash some poor old lady

Because if you read the thread mrfxt suggested changing the engine which of course involves looking into cert issues. So yes it is part of the discussion, to make sure its done right and by the book.

I thought this thread was over something quite good and contstructive. Im no expert when it comes to cars but I would check all hose clamps - basic thing like this can cause alot of headaches

If it was a simple case of leaking water, then yea good suggestion. BUT this thing is forcing water out/overheating badly & seen this done that with this series of motor before ****** Nice try but no cigar

I don't know much about them - blown headgasket, boiling water everywhere, kinda makes sense, umm something not sealing like it should

Dang thread got hijacked.SORT IT OUT YOUR PETTY DIFFERENCES SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Anywho.I would probably agree with the head since you've tried all other possibilities (i think).

Sorry OP but mr40cal seems to be a bit of stalker of following me in threads just to have a go. Defiantly get a TK test done.

It takes less than an hour to remove the head from a 2Y motor. Why bother complicating things! Like I said, take the van to a garage and ask them to do a TK head check to ELIMINATE or CONFIRM problems associated with a head gasket.
