Those who mentioned this idea in another thread did not went far in the project and I'm not as experienced as they are. I just want to do things one at the time and write a diary about it, which this thread is. I'm not sure it will work yet, though I'm more than when I started this thread.

I found that my intake wont fit as it is. The water jacket under it will hit the starter on the chevette. I'll have to remove it, the water jacket, not the starter. What else... I just bought a new chevette and I'm tight on budget. It has 23'000km by the way so it's justified as an investment. I may not have my head modified until 6 weeks or so. I'll be able to work on the intake, the cam configuration and the oiling circuit if I'm lucky. There's more to come...

hey hydroli i dont think you need to make any water passages or what ever. look at the chevette head gasket there is next to no holes in it. i believe this would be the manufacturers attempt for a head gasket to fail and need replacement, they would not make a car that wouldnt need servicing every 100,000 miles, which means the gasket will wear down and create more flow which in turn will make you engine not cool as good which in turn you would need to replace your head gasket.

OK, I wish I can make it clear for you. The water pump pushes cold water from the front of the block. The head gasket has a tiny hole at the front. From front to rear you will start to see medium size holes near from the second cylinder. At the back there's a big hole where most of the coolant flows. You can see that the purpose of this distribution is to avoid too cold water to enter the cylinder head and to let a constant flow of equally warmed water cool the combustion chambers. That explains the necessity of the big water passage at the back.
If you look at the 3 oil drains, they pass by an area that surrounds the exhaust valve, the most hot area of the combustion chamber. It will then not be enclosed and be cooled down by making it a coolant pass, supplying the cooling effect of the oil from the original configuration. That's for the oil drains pockets conversion.
