16v head that will fit on a 1.4sr engine

[wrightysr]

i was wondering if there is 16v head that will fit on a 1.4sr engine? can anyone help?

can be done, but a lot of work is involved so im led to believe

none as standard, 16 valves aint the same as eight for a start

:roll: ''a lot of work'' is prolly an understatement! :o

CP did it to his 1.4 (but then its a silly one lol)

You need to get the end of the blokc modded to take the 16V cambelt setup which isnt straightforward as you need to bore and tap holes etc.
then you need to make sure the valves wont batter the pistons, or jsut fit 16V pistons. Then you need to sort the ignition system, then the fuelling, be it by the std inlet, or with carbs/tb's etc and finally you have the exhaust that needs modding substantially to fit the head. Infact it would be less work/cost to get a 1.4 16V engine and fit it.
