CA18 a derived copy of Fiat TC

they look so similar?

so none of the timing gear on the front is interchangeable?

The CA18 has hydraulic lifters.

You also forget soem car makers sell motors to others

KIA 2.0L in sportage is a Mazda FE DOHC parts interchangeable

other Kia's have older mazda engines

All of ford ZETEC motors have something in comon with either jaguar or other ford brands like volvo etc

I could swear it had solid lifters as I was talking to a buncha faggy Silvia owners* and there was that interminable argument about the CA18 vs. SR20 and they were saying the CA18 was the superior motor as it has direct bucket cam action and solid lifters.

I really dunno, I'm more into the RB, VH45, 2JZ, 1UZ motors.

*I'm kidding about the Silvia owners.

The internet is also full of these stupid sr/ca arguments ... by people that obviously have no idea on the facts.

ca's definately have hyd lifters (same as vg30). Although these need to be replaced with shimmed solid buckets (like the rb's) when using cams of greater lift than 8.5mm

one other myth... the 'light' alloy sr... in fact it is 21kg heavier than the steel ca

The nissan A series motor is a refined version of the Morris A series motor too.
