power gains from putting a 1.2 head onto 1.4 block

[johnnynova]

what are they if any? as 1.2 has better shaped ports??

[Aragorn]

better ports and a higher resulting compression ratio due to smaller combustion area

[johnnynova]

which means....


more power, or less power...


im thinking more, but how much...

[Stuart]

approxomately 3-10% more depending on the fuelling.

usually about 3-5% though on standard ish use

[skud52]

[Will]
