Re: 1G Swap Questions

If you have a 6-bolt engine, then you can only use a 6-bolt oil filter adapter housing. 7-bolts are all the same (ie 92.5 - 99). 90s use a external air-to-air cooler for the oil whereas 91+ use a liquid cooler, these are also interchangeable. If you want to use a different filter, just buy a different filter. It's up to you. They interchange. Personally I think the bigger filter gives you something you need, more oil capacity. Fram PH3950, or purolator L10193. There are also premium versions of these filters. Same numbers just different prefix. 2g Valve cover is interchangeable, the top timing cover is interchangeable. The lower cover is 2g only (motor mount is different) and is actually 2 pieces. If you are just wanting a new cover, try pricing out a 89-93 Hyundai Sonata 2.0L DOHC. Same motor (6-bolt anyway) and is often cheaper than Mitsu stuff.

All the timing gears are interchangeable but there is no difference between them except for 95-96 intake cam sprocket has the sensor plate bolted to it. But you can still use it.
