    Default Advice and Help PLEASE!!!

    Hi!

    I have a 1.4 laying around that I want to put in to my 1.2! However I need to do some bits a pieces to it first. So I was wondering if you guys know a good places who can do the following:

    1. Put 1.6 valves in to 1.2 head and polish it its currently off the engine so can post it etc
    2. Get forged pistons and rods and APR botls and whatever is needed to replace pistons for better ones
    3. Any bearings I need to replace in the engine itself?
    4. Good weber peopple who can tune the stuff for me?

    Thanks

    Hmm, does the engine need a rebuild?

    If not, just wack it in.


    Look in the Yellow Pages for engine builders/engineering companies etc

    what kind of spec are you intending to get out of the 1.4?

    for the head you will be better off getting a 1.6 head and having that skimmed to bring the CR back. thats gonna cost you ohhhh ?80 max where as having the valves cut in and new valves is atleast ?250+the porting to blend them in etc.

    do you really need forged pistons and funky ass rods? jsut deseam the std rods and then get them shot peend. and simply get new oversize pistons with a bit machined out of them to run uber lairy cams
