thats what ive been told... but it does look different.... as it was previously running MPi... but then someone else said it was a SPi... Reason im asking is that its had work done to it... and has kent cam valve springs....

Heres a pic of a inlet up close...

lets get low tech. measure how long it is... then we'll know if its a small or big block.

then from the age stamp 86, we will be able to say either 1.3 or 1.8

but i'm guessing its a 1.3 that had the irmscher mpi (corsa sprint) on it.

that casting no is definateley from a 1300. Bronze guides are often used on high spec heads, also got waisted stems on there.

it is where the stem of the valve has been made narrower than std. If you look at the valve stem there is a step on it.

measure the diameter of the valve heads, I bet they are bigger than std. I think if it was cleaned up it would be worth more than £75

turn the cam until a exhaust/inlet valve opens and measure its diameter with a vernier
