There is no such thing as a 'low comp 1.6'......

'lower' then. I mean looking for a bottom end thats had different pistons in it, so i can get rid of the 2 gaskets/1 spacer plate solution. And i need new rings anyway, was going to buy new pistons but they way to expensive. So im repairing the 1.6 8v turbo. If it goes pop again.. its red top for 300 quid solution. Going on holiday enjoy British weather lol.
