    Thought I would ask this here. So when I put the 7AGE in the sprinter if it does raise the head up 10mm there will be a problem fitting the exhaust. How have other people got around this? Was thinking of using the Cusco engine mounts that apparently lower the motor 10mm, does anyone know where to buy these?

    that will work but you need to watch the sump too. i guess depends on how tight you headers were to the body

    should get it low enough...hard to say depending on the design of the headers i guess...

    i went to the extreme of both lower rubbers and mounts to slam the motor in the engine bay...then ran into the problem of the sump apparently fouling...which then turned into a long winded process of converting to an ae101 sump...argggggg...

    all my research into the matter was theory and conversation with others namely in the US/NZ whom had similar problems...so i havent seen with my eyes the problems...will be taking detailed pics when i get to the stage of installation however...

    There's no need to beat the firewall at all. And yeah, it's definitely just 10mm taller.

    Can get photos of the modified sprocket but all it is is just another keyway slot cut to locate it at a different position on the crank

    Its not the firewall that will be a problem on mine, its underneath
