Fitting a C14SE head to a carb 14NV

[kent14sr]

Does anyone know if the C14SE SRI head is suitable to be fitted to the carb'd 14NV engine??

Is it a worthwhile upgrade?

[jimbob-mcgrew]

i think the bottom ends are the same from both blocks

the head will fit kent, but not to sure about the pulleys being the same, i think the crank pulley on the NV is different, if so just get to the scrap dealer and get the pulley u need, if u need one that is, otherwise everything will work, but as jimbob said, the bottom ends may be identical, so not sure if you'll get much performance diffrence if any

wtf are you talking about with pullys? he said head?

It will fit fine, if youve got a matched inlet it could produce slight gains. Unless your doing other work id say not really worth it unless the engine is in bits.

Ha - I have twin 40s ready to go on and a piper bp270 cam

Could this be worthwhile Stuart?? Maybe all is not lost!!

AW06 - yes its in bits being rebuilt!!

Hi The Heads Are All Compatible 1.4 Heads Fit 1.6 As Well. The Se Head Has Bigger Valves An Higher Compression So It Will Work Well With The Other Mods Your Doing+

[Stuart]

might want to check the compression ;)

[kent14sr]

will do mate!!

[jimbob-mcgrew]

would u check it with a tester or some other oldskool way ?
i know mowgli was going on about filling the chambre with liquid or something, and then some perspex is involved or something lol, i cant remember lol

AW06, check out the NEWBIE under my username mate LOL

and if the pulley on the head and bottom end are different he wont be able to put a cambelt on it?? i dunno lol

[nova-taken]

ok, now its junior user

[kent14sr]

No problem with the pulley as it bolts onto the cam

Think I may just give it a go and then check compression
