Need help. S5/S4 front cover, s5/s4 OMP, s5/s4 water pump. Swap questions.
I bought an engine off of a member and he told me that he used a used s5 rotating assembly.
I assumed this meant the front cover would be in fact a s5 front cover.
I went to put my water pump/ omp on and neither one of them fit.
Both are s5.
I went and looked at my s4's omp and it looks as if it would fit.
The water pump also looks like it might fit.
I'm new to swapping parts and such, but I'm trying to figure out what to do now.
My s4 is not running and I'm selling it to someone that is 2j swapping.
So I can use the parts off that engine if I need to.
But.... since it has a s4 front cover does that mean it is a s4 rotating assembly as well?
And would you suggest that I do with my situation with the omp and water pump?
Can you use a s5 front cover with a s4 rotating assembly?
If so should I just toss my s5 front cover on it and be done?
Sorry, I'm a noob but I'm really frustrated and confused right now.

Yeah, that's actually what I was looking at doing. I just wasn't for sure if that would work with the rest of the car being s5. The water pump housing on the s4 is actually brand new. Thanks for the input tek. Now to figure out if I can get a hold of the materials for a block-off plate. By the way, love your car and hate to hear that it is down. I saw your video on youtube, it inspired my go at this swap hard.

I just assumed it all went together because of the front pulley.
Like I said I'm pretty new.
I've messed with a lot of stuff on the car but I haven't been this deep into it.
Also, would it be okay to make the block off plate out of aluminum instead of steel, like it says in the write-up?
