My 182 needs a new engine, im lead to believe that 182's have a higher rev limit than 172's? If a 172 engine block is put into my car would it still be able to reach the higher rev limits that a 182 have? Also I had noticed 182 engine codes are F4R 738 and a 172 is F4R 736, why is this and what's the difference? Any help is appreciated.

Use the 182 manifold other than that winner ! Make sure you use the inlet supplied with the engine , because the phase 2 172 and 182 are very slightly different so if you use a 172 engine use the 172 inlet !
You really like giving incorrect advice don't you!
You must use the 182 inlet as the carbon canister pipe work is different. Or you change the pipe to that of the 172.

Sorry ! how do you go about using a 182 inlet on a 172 rocker cover ? Because I was under the impression they are different ?

I had a 172 engine put in my 182 only last week. I have been told by many that the 172s are a stronger engine...I can't notice a great deal of power loss to be honest pal.

And the only other bit I need to get hold of is a breather pipe from the crank.

I trust the early ph1 engines more then the the newer :S. The ports are bigger .
The 182 inlet fits right on. The inlet only has 1 port that is different.
Right ! I tried to run a phase 2 172 inlet on my 182 and the rocker cover is different so it runs with a vacuum leak at the back ! That's why I'm confused there is two bolts that hold it down on the rocker on my 182 and only 1 on the phase 2 172 !
I suppose of your running it the opposite way it should be to bad difference having more bolts but I was told all the inlets phase 1 172 phase 2 172 and 182 are different and not interchangeable hence my advice !

Chuck an air filter on the breather sorted!
Or loop it back into the intake

The 182's CC port is on the inlet rather than the breather setup on the 172.
I guess I'm confusing myself dan , so your saying the inlet and rocker covers don't vary and are interchangeable mate ?
There is a slight difference between the breather plate and the Inlet. The breather plate doesn't extend into the inlet on the 182. The breather plate doesn't have the CC take off like the 172. The 172 Inlet doesn't have the CC take off like the 172 one does.
Right I think I get you ! 182 has a carbon canister take off the 172 has a breather set up? The last bit confused me ! But I get the idea basically that's why you need to keep it but how do you get around the rocker cover set up then ? Because surely it will create a vac leak like I got ?
They both have a breather plate ontop of the rocker. It just varies slightly.
Fantastic makes more sense ! I assume the breathers are stuck to the rocker and not removeable ? Or can the be separated ? Cheers for the info
They can be separated. Held on by 8 10mm bolts iirc
