yah they all do that 16v #4 crank,,, aftermarket header is cure.
yah suzuki in there great wisdom used same engine code on the VIN for both 8v and 16v engines, GM did not, it used, U/6 code (6= 16v) U=8v.
so parts stores sell the wrong parts, vast. due to that silly error by suzuki.
as you know high temp epoxy may not work at 2000f degree's and huge huge iron thermal expansion and contraction there.
good idea to pass smog test but not for long term fix. IMO
the 8v and 16v head have totally different radical manifold bolt patterns, intake and exh.
there are no common parts on the 2 heads, or manifolds.
block is same , pistons not.
all you can do is google for parts,
but watch carefully for , missing O2 mount and not fitting to stock exhaust pipes. (fed and calif, types not the same hear, long header and short for those)
do not buy from anyone, unless they tell valve count, on this car..
Suzuki sells the manifold but will crack again and is super expensive there, if even stocked now.
here is my buy page (old)
see them all; here factory Pn/
