...Which timing belt did you use when you put the 1.6 head on?Have you tried to put in the older 1.6 oil pump and vacuum pump? They are a bit of an item due to the change in drive engagements. The oil pan gasket is really expensive on the AAZs too...I'll have to see if I can use my old 1.6 pan and get a new gasket for that instead.Thanks, Steve
Janb, where do you get your gaskets
I think it'd work. BUT... The 1.6L has smaller intake valves. I bet the effect would be a stronger bottom end torque, say til 3000, and a very choked off higher end. Would be better to have the head repaired if possible and jam it on a 1.6L
