EX engine with DX Head (Timing)

A while ago I put a DX head on my EX engine. Was just wondering who else has done this and what is your advance set to?

Thanks

fitting a dx head to an ex block

There was a thread on a while back about fitting a dx head to an ex block. I was wondering if the exhaust and inlet from the ex would still fit? And run on carb?

Thanks for any help :)

Re: Why is my mk2 overheating?

When I'm on the road the gauge is to the right and its worse in traffic.
I've flushed the system out. I put my hand next to the fan and the air is pretty hot. I haven't checked if the water is moving.
I haven't felt the bottom hose or radiator yet. I think sensors ok, the engine is deffinately ...

Why is my mk2 overheating?

My mk2 has been overheating for a while.
Things I've tried: new thermostat. New thermoswitch. New radiator.
My pressure cap is good and my Ignition timing is good. My fan kicks in but not sure if its coming on for long enough.
Any help would be great :)
