Will a 172 inlet mani, be ok to bolt to my 182

[one in a million]

Hey people, just purchased a 172 inlet manifold, as i am currently polishing it all up to look the dogs bolluuuksss, but it should be ok to bolt straight on to my standard 182, they are the same right??????

 

[Dave..]

Nope, different fitments underneath.

 

[one in a million]

so it will be no good, for my car at all

 

[Dave..]

Nope

You'll need the 172 breather plate iirc

 

[one in a million]

so the breather plate, ok so if i buy this part then i can fit it to my 182, i know it might sound silly but will this affect the car in anyway?

 

[SkidMarx]

No wont affect it at all

 

[Fred@BTM]

172 breather plate doesn't fit a 182 rocker from memory

 

[one in a million]

so im basically losing lol, ok its for sale now

 

[SkidMarx]

thought it just had a spare/missing bolt hole?

Hold on il check...

 

[Fred@BTM]

[one in a million]

How did you polish it up if i may ask, new to the fourm and want to achive this with my inlet mani

 

[SkidMarx]

Cant find my 182 breather to try with the 172 inlet, but im 90% sure it does work. Sideways danny knows for certain (i think)

 

[one in a million]

used a dremel drill to get the skin off, file and sand paper, then used wet and dry, used brasso metal polish and then used PEEK polish. still needs more attention tho, so i would of bought a polishing kit

182 plenum fits on a 172 head, but not the other way round
