Head (Not the kind u get from a girl ;) )

[twim]

How much dollor would a new head for my 1.3SR be, like a 1.2 one or something coz that would improve performance wouldnt it? I have no more engine mods just a BB3 back box.

Cheers

maybe ?15 ?

Would it improve performance?

Would a 1.0 be even better?

1.0 head is totally different

the 1.2 head will raise the compression slightly so it will make it a bit more responsive yep

Where can i get a 1.2 head from then? What other mods would be good whilst am "In" the engine. Cheap mods ;)

Thanks lads....

What kinda work go's into swaping a head? Could it be done by my self or would i require a mechanic? Any special tools? How long would it take?

Will 1.2 head just directly replace a 1.3 orwill it require some modification?
