Are they the same or different part no.'s and strength?
Im after a set of main caps for an A15 but ive got a few sets of A12's lying around and i was just wondering if they were interchangeable...

Im guessing the A15 is stronger but you never know with clever datusn engineer's!

Cheers
Dave

the main caps are mated to the block during initial block machining if you don't have the orig caps the best solution is to get another block with matching caps

You can but you will need to rebore it.

Why are you after new caps ?

you don't need to rebore the block, just the main caps to the block. Its not too expensive from memory, spewin i don't have the caps to go with it!
