gsi bottom end and head

[epo]

ive got chance of a gsi head and bottom end wot i wanna know is will they fit and will they do ne hing 4 performance i know the sri heads supposed 2 be gud but i wondered if fittin the bottom end wud do owt even on its own (with out the gsi head or wud they work better as a pair)
thx epo

[brian]

put the full gsi setup in.
the sri head will fit ok but i dont know how it will run. i have only done the opposite in the past, ie. gsi head on 1400 block.

as brian says gsi striahgt in

the electrics is pi$$ easy and you have tank and lines ther if you have an sri i assume?

[epo]

nice 1 thx alot 4 ur help

[Dicko]

it will fit, but will fcuk up compression

[epo]

which 1 bottom or head an will that make it run like shite

[Aragorn]

it wont FUCK compression

it will raise it

by how much would need to be calculated

you'll need to measure the piston dish volume, head dish volume and calculate the compression

im guessing 1400 head on 1600 will prolly give 11.5-12 to 1 compression which is prolly a bitty high and u may encounter detonation issues

[epo]

how wud i recify these detonation issues i was also gunna have the head skimmed will that do owt special
am a bit of a newbie regardin engines electrics is more me thing me old boy does me mechanics 4 me like

[Dicko]

aragorn iv gone into this issue before and the compression levels were not lookin good, especialy as most heads have been skimmed adding more..
