Cylinder Head

Post by sajseven » Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:21 pm

How easy is it to replace a cylinder head on a 1.6 Vitara JLX ('92)? There's one on offer near me, but is it easy enough to replace the broken head? I'm not a huge DIY'er, but I think I would be capable. Also, I'm not very familiar to the Vitara... is it any good in your opinions compared to the SJ :mrgreen: ?

Thanks! (Especially for bringing this site back! 8-) )

hello. i had the same problem with my sj and i read on how to change it about it somewhere on the web. that i will try to find it for you and post it. but in the mean time i decided to change the whole engine . it was a lot simplier and a lot cheaper.
yes yes i bought it to save the rhino...long time ago
