Subject: 3.9 Dakota Head Problem
IP: Logged

Message:
Hello,
I've been searching all afternoon for an ansswer to this problem, but I can't find any info.

Perhaps somebody here has an answer??

Problem.....I purchased two replacement heads for an 87 3.9 ....both are casting number 979.

When installing the intake manifold, I find that there is a slot (on both heads) to the side and then going over the top of the intake hole that is there for the EGR........

HOWEVER, The other side ALSO (same casting #) has the EGR slot, and the intake manifold DOES NOT cover this slot......
Neither does the intake manifold gasket...??

I spoke to the rebuilder, and they INSIST that both heads are the same and interchangeable.

ANY IDEAS - ANY PLACE TO GO FIND OUT??

THANKS ----- for any help

Appreciate your reply, that's what everybody insists.

However - What happens to the EGR slot that's open on the pass side?

Nothing covers it??????????????
