my friend bent his valves in his 90 ex with an a6.. he wanted it running asap so i swapped it over for a 93 dx head.. the car doesnt start anymore.. it's getting spark and fuel.. but... the weird thing is that when i pull the plugs after i tried to crank it, its fouled with fuel... i know it sparks cuz i did a test on it... it seems as if the spark plug wire isn't reaching the spark plugs, making it so it doesn't spark.. so.. is the dx head taller than the a6 head? i tested a few plug wires and the old ones dont reach down far enough for the plugs.. what do you guys think?

 

anyone?

 

I thought that the heads were basically the same physically. Hmmm, is the timing OK?

 

Compression check.

Make sure you put the plug wires to the right place.

Check belt timing.

Check all wire connections and grounds.

plug wires are in the right place.. timing belt is fine.. grounds are fine.. timing is correct.. this isn't the first head i've done.. its like the 15th.. like i said.. the old plugs dont go down all the way to connect to the top the the plugs.. anyways... i made the dude buy some new plugs and wires so i'll go check it out later today..

 

the head casting is physically identical

 

i was thinking that.. the why the f*ck dont the plug wires reach down far enough to the plugs..
