Re: Head gasket job... D.I.Y.??? 200 82

"...does in intake manifold have to come out or can I unbolt it and pull it aside?"

Pull it aside.

"What years of heads will fit, just the B21F heads up to 1982?"

Hmmm. I think a head from '76 to '82 will fit. In '85 the non-turbo 240 switched to the B230F engine, and I think installing that head requires modifications (and buys you nothing in performance or reliability). The boneyards should be FULL of B21/23 heads.

The '81 and '82 years were very common. You should have no trouble finding a cylinder head. Hell, I have two '82 heads kicking around here (one has 347k miles on it...).

"Will the turbo head fit?"

I think so.

But rather than take chances with a turbo head or a B230 head, simply find one from an '82 B21F with your fuel injection (I'm assuming it's the K-jet system). A few '82 cars had the rare, early LH-jet system, version 1.0, with the electronic injectors. This head is similar to the '83 and '84 head.

"Will the seat or valve wear and produce a better fit? I don't have an experiance with burnt valves."

Don't quite understand your question. "Valve wear" and "better fit" don't compute for me.
