its answered, back up to your other post.
even has photos....

one more easter egg hunt , ended.

3 places you can get the answer.
1) dealer parts department
2) a salvage yard or parts store like auto zone or advanced auto.
3) a machine shop that does head repair. I would start here and have the donor head checked before i installed it and then found out it wasn't flat.

One way or another you have to get the head off to replace the valves. You may have cracked the head by the valves being bent.

Hey there Alex,
I am going to say no...
I did check the interchange and Hollander Interchange says no.
Reason being , the carriers are different.
I am assuming you are working on a 2wd , or you would have mentioned the front axle assembly as well.

Here are the options for the '97 ;
96-97 only
disc brakes (6 cyl), (4.30 ratio, 43/10 teeth, S7C), 3 sensor ABS (sensor in pumpkin)
disc brakes (6 cyl), (4.30 ratio, 43/10 teeth, S7C), 4 sensor ABS (sensors in axle tubes)
drum brakes (4 cyl), (4.56 ratio, 41/9 teeth, HC6)

and here are the options for the '98;
1998 and 1999 only
4x2 (drum brakes), 3.73 ratio (41/11 teeth, 6NW)
4x2 (drum brakes), 4.56 ratio (41/9 teeth, HC6)
4x2 (drum brakes), 4.10 ratio (41/10 teeth, GT5)
4x2 (drum brakes), 4.30 ratio (43/10 teeth, S7C)
4x2 (drum brakes), 4.78 ratio (43/9 teeth, S2J)

I think you have an Injector leak down problem.

Facing towards front of engine-number 1 is on passenger side front cyl of engine. Number 2 is front cyl on driver's side-number 3 middle cyl on passenger side-4 on middle cyl driver's side-5 on back cyl passenger side and 6 on back cyl driver's side. The distributer rotates COUNTER CLOCKWISE-number 1 cyl's sparkplug wire attaches to distributer cap connection closest to number 5 cyl.-to your right side of this plug wire on cap would go cyl number 2-then 3-then 4-then 5 and then 6. The firing order is:1,2,3,4,5,6

The firing order for a six cylinder is 1-2-3-4-5-6 distributor rotation-clockwise...cylinders 1-3-5 on drivers side...2-4-6 on passenger side

I looked in my database but can't help with that one.

Do you have the v 6 or the 4 cyl.?
You may want to check the cap and rotor, and check to make sure all elctrical connections and vacuum hoses are tight and in good condition. Then go from there.
