GTE head will physically fit and match up to cylinders i think but if its not been skimmed by a lot you will loose compression - power.

Also the inlets are completly different to the sr's.
saying that, the inlets are a lot better. If you can mod your inlet manifold to fit. Or if ur running 40's then get a different manifold designed for the 1.6's.

cheers for that. so if its been skimmed then yes if not no??

if you have a manifold with the round ports and your useing 40'sn then get it and maybe give it a skim.

You'll end up 8.7:1 compression ratio if you don't skim it :(

when peeps say it needs a skim to raise c/r, they mean a big skim, not one you do to level the head off if its warped, you need to take a lot more off.
