2.25 petrol five bearing flywheel housing???

[farmer]

I will be replacing my three bearing 2.25 petrol engine with a five bearing engine. the problem is the five bearing engine doesn't have a flywheel or flywheel housing. can I use my old flywheel and housing off of my old engine?if I can't then where can I get a flywheel housing and flywheel for a 2.25 five bearing engine? Thanks

I'm pretty sure you're old one will fit the new motor.

I thought the rear main seal was different on the three bearing block requiring a different flywheel housing.

I think that may be one of the differences between a 2.25L and a 2.5L. Once you have them out just take the old one off and try it. You'll know for sure then.

They are different and will not interchange. The rear seal for the 5 main engine is in the flywheel housing. Just got thru swapping mine over. YOu will have to find one for the 5 main engine

OK that's good to know info there, I thought it was just different between the 2.25L and 2.5L. Bummer for farmer though...

Even tho they are the same, theres quite a bit different, the 5 main is metric and the 3 main is not. I have run into quite a bit, because of this, mainly small stuff. Heater fittings, bolts, etc. But just about got it ready to crank up. There is some pictures I posted on the "What did you do today" thread. you can see the difference in the housings. The 5 main is built a lot tougher, has a lot more ribs and reinforcing to it. I think the flywheel is different too. Luckily mine was a complete takeout.

Fly wheel is different. you will have to find both.
