Will Lanos head fit Aveo

[Billy]

Will the head from a 2000 lanos fit a 2004 Aveo?Thanks.Billy

technically yes the head will bolt on. however, the Aveo intake manifold has the injectors mounted to it and the Lanos has the injectors mounted to the head. to use the Aveo head on a lanos you would likely have to use everything between the throttle and the head.

If you were to ask me I would say no. Not feasible IMO, but some people on here might beg to differ. None of the parts are interchangeable. You cannot swap the intakes from one head to another, EGR is different, and IIRC so is the front engine mount location and bolting. and the Aveo uses throttle by wire as opposed to throttle cable on the Lanos.

Mechanically parts are interchangleable such as cam gears, and lifters, and valves, but the physical head is not. Unless you plan on converting your lanos to class II or vice versa which I'm still sceptical can be done..

sorry mate, I'm gonna be one of those to differ. there is only the one difference in the heads that I had mentioned. there are injector mounts directly on the lanos head where as they are on the intake manifold of the Aveo. Trey is right that that most of the 1.6 motors with the plastic manifold used drive by wire but the throttle from the lanos will bolt up to the aveo manifold and vice versa. all the sensors are the same so that shouldn't be an issue. also, the motor mount bracket is different in the two motors but that has no baring on the block or the head.

granted, the swap is unnecisary if you can avoid it but if looking at an $800 Aveo head and a $250-$300 Lanos head I would go with the less expensive. then again money is an issue with me, not adaptation/modification. if needed I have a few Aveo and Lanos intake manifolds and heads too i think. I can take some pics and make note of issues I see.

just wondering, what brought up the question?

[Trey05Woo]

Exactly its the cost... I really don't have any off hand but i thought the composite would not mount up as the prots and egr feed are different.

For some reason though, here in Miami, Fl the aveo engine is plentiful, and I've been quoted as little as 120 for a Aveo head...

Thanks every one for your input.But ive already solved my problem.I found an engine from an 08 aveo with about 1000 miles for $550.00.I picked it up today.Billy

[Trey05Woo]

Well if you manage to get that engine to work please post pics and how you did it...

[Billy]

Nothing to it .the engines are the same except for the throttlebody.

[Trey05Woo]

You sure? The Aveo always used a different engine management system than the Lanos, and in 2008 all vehicles were mandated canbus engine management. In 2008 the Aveo used things like a bcm and built in pcm immobilizer system. You probably could get it to work, but not plug in and go.

[Billy]

Just so we are clear.I have a 04 Aveo .I am in the process of installing a 08 Aveo engine in it.

Ah ok now i see... Makes sense it should go right in loool
