Title: 8V or 16V Junkyard Hunt
Post by: Zukipilot on May 09, 2005, 11:47:58 PM
Sorry guys, I know this has been covered, but I am working right now and do not have time to look.

I'm going Junk yard hunting this afternoon and need to know what year the Kicks/Trackers had the 8V in it I think ALL 2 doors had the 8V from 89-94, is that correct?

http://car-part.com/ does list like vehicles with the typical same engine.
Did a search for a 92, Suzuki Sidekick, Engine, Southeast, and had a choice of 1.6l TBI (8 valve) or the 1.6l MPI (16 valve). Prices ranged from $200 to $950. Large variance.

Searching in TN area (Memphis locale), came up with 1994

I like the 16 valve myself, just go buy an old 1994 4 door and drive it home and you will have all you need and more, gears power steering, ect     you can get them cheaper than buying the engine.

MarkyB replaced his engine a while back. If I remember rightly he now has his old 8V head on a 16V bottom end. If I remember rightly you said you had a 16V engine? You would have to contact Mark to verify that that is what he is has.

Cool thanks for the info. I'm gonna look into the leads Jag sent me (thanks 8)) Savannah is only about 3 hr from me and it looks like they have a deal. I plan on keeping the 16V in tact to keep as a spare for the X-90. If the savannah deakl falls through it looks like I'm heading to Ohio. I want an easy bolt in replacment that I can do in a weekend so I can try and make my trip to Wisconsin.

Speaking of junkyard hunt,  anyone know wher I can find a valve cover (alum) for a later model (96) 8V 1.3 engine Swift or Metro should have them.  None of my local yards have anything even listed.  All the online yard hotlines I've tried just send out form letters, but never have it when you call.  Should be a bunch of em laying around somewhere.  They never wear out.
I'd appreciate any leads. I want to change out my steel one while I'm rebuilding the engine.
Thanks,
GS

The trans will be in Fri for the X-90 so we will at least have that. If I can get the dude at the bank off of his ass I'm gonna go to savannah or OH this friday and get a motor to put in the Kick and hope it's in good enough shape to make it to Wisconsinand back. We will be there, I just dont know wich vehicle we will show up in yet.

Thats what they are doing at Hawk. Just a Sammi head on a 16V Bottom end. Just swapped on into my friends last weekend.

Thanks Again,

LOL, i am about to put the 16V from my tracker into the sidekick 8V, lol just to have the soft top. my wife thinks im a bit luny  but i think as long as i have the kik striped "harnes removed and motor out", I should be able to yank the motor and harnes out of the trak and plop it in the kik in a weekend. I think i will go and buy a manual for it first, should i get one for a 95 tracker, or for an 89 sidekick lol. or will it really matter. And were is a cheep place to get a stock rebuild kit for an 89 8V motor?

Got a digicam? Take lots of photos of how it all is in the Tracker as you strip it then use them to help you reassemble it in the Sidekick. The wiring is all colour coded but check that the wire colours are the same where harnesses are joined by connectors. Write down any differences. Then post up all the info you have amassed.

well we will see if replacing the head gasket works, if it dont run as good as the 16v then i will do the swap, however if it runns just as good then i will not be doing the swap!
