    Difference between 736 and 738

    May have been covered before but I couldn't find an exact answer. From what I have worked out they use the same block just have different inlets? So if I had a 736 engine it would go in a 182 if I used all my original parts off the old 738? Is that correct. Just you see just the block...

    Clicking over bumps

    I keep getting a clicking noise coming from the passenger's side of my car when going over bumps. I know for certain it coming from the inside so that rules out suspension.

    V6 air box vs standard?

    Recently bought a 182 and the seller was nice enough to give me the V6 air box. Out of the 2 what would offer the best performance gain without sacrificing to much MPG i.e gain of 3 BHP but using twice as much fuel isn't going to being economical. Considered keeping standard and running an iTG...
