Helllooooo

Its er, been a while since ive posted here. This is aimed at peeps like CP and Dan.

Ive found a worked and rebuilt block for sale. Its a c14se (1.4sri) block. Im told the pistons in this engine have larger valves cutouts (to work with the larger valves in the head) and help give a higher compression ratio.

Ive also got:
a 1.3SR head and inlet
a 1.4SR cam
1.4SR dizzy etc

What head gasket should i use with that lot?

Am i gonna have probs with the starter and flywheel with my existing F10/5 box? If so i might just end up putting the 1.3 inlet and head on my 1.4SR block - again, which gasket

This is only for my "runaround" nova :roll: :lol:

i'd expect the 1.4 sri and sr have the same piston sizes and therefore will have the same bore size and use the same gasket

i used a 1400sr gasket on my hybrid (gte head, sr block) and its fine :)
