Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 2L motor which i think is either 1982 or 1983 which has cam followers and a front gernal (sp?) which leaks oil when its idling, and also a 1987 2L motor which has a good camshaft and roller rockers.
What i want to know is can I put my roller rockers and the cam from the newer motor straight into the older motor without any dramas?
I know ill have to change the pulleys and get a new timing belt, ive got that part sorted.

No you can't as the Cyl heads are different.

2 mechanics have told me no worries it used to be a really common thing to do that a 2L motor is a 2L motor.....

You can change the entire Cyl head no worries but im allmost 100% certain that you can not just change the rocker gear and cam.

will it physically not fit or will it foul when we try to turn it over?

As far as im aware the cam and rockers physicaly will not fit. But i could be wrong. If 2 seperate Mechanics are telling you it can be done then there is a good chance i am wrong.

ok. Thank you for your input with it, and if anyone else has any...? we will be attempting to do this on the weekend. I will let u know how we go

well ive just finished swapping my cam and rockers over. it all worked just fine and its fixed my problem!
