1.4 block, 1.2 head, 1.4 cam, jets too

[jimbob-mcgrew]

im in the process of sorting out a 1.4 block ready to mate a 1.2 head on it, with the 1.4 cam.
i still need to get a water pump, a 1.4 head gasket and cam belt.

ive got a bunch of questions:


will it be wise to use the lifters and tappets from the 1.4 head to go with it ? i was gonna use the 1.2 lifters and tappets, but they lost order when i moved the head.
and whats the score with cam belt sizes regarding this setup ? (i think mines tensioned via the water pump) 1.2 and 1.4 heads the same depth ?

and one more on fueling, as ive got 3 fcuked 2e's, which i doubt will be any good, im gonna use the 1.2's 1b carb on the 1.2 inlet for now, is it possible to take a 1.4 jet from one of the 2e's and fit it to the 1b ?

edit : oh and one more thing i forgot : the 1.4 block has an oil pressure sender but i dont have a set of 6 dial clocks as of yet, will this work ok on the normal gauge for the oil light or will i have to fit the standard sensor back in till then.

cheers :thumb: plus rep for any help, wanna try get the block sorted for the weekend to drop in

will it be wise to use the lifters and tappets from the 1.4 head to go with it ? i was gonna use the 1.2 lifters and tappets, but they lost order when i moved the head. Just clean the lifters properly and use the ones with the least wear.


and whats the score with cam belt sizes regarding this setup ? (i think mines tensioned via the water pump) 1.2 and 1.4 heads the same depth ? Same depth afaik, just make sure you use the cam pulley that matches the crankshaft pulley.


and one more on fueling, as ive got 3 fcuked 2e's, which i doubt will be any good, im gonna use the 1.2's 1b carb on the 1.2 inlet for now, is it possible to take a 1.4 jet from one of the 2e's and fit it to the 1b ? Not sure, either way it'll need fine tuning on the rollers.

Should be 2 terminals on it if it's for 6-dial clocks, without them you only use one of the terminals.

it will blow the head gasket in 2 week ive done it, to small of a squish band use a 1.3 head

my 3 are all jetted for 1.4's, but they came in 1.3 form too.

or do you mean size of the jets as in measurement ? i dont have any specialist measuring tools for that, i can imagine theyll be prety f0okin small lol

Mine was a 1.3 head skimmed by at least 1mm (more like 1.5) and on an SRi (C14SE-higher compression than a 14NV) bottom end and the head gasket was fine, did pink a bit though....

95 brake and it saw 8000rpm every day, on standard rod bolts!
