The head gasket will be the fuse I'd guess.. Are you running with head studs? I have 1.6 internals with a 1.5 block and head (don't ask, long story)
i do wonder about the details of the 1.6 internals in a 1.5l?

Yeah, the engine has headstuds so it might hold up awhile; i think i will keep boost low at 10-12 psiZukiman87: please do post your build progress!

Managed to get about 150K miles out of it till (surprise surprise) the block cracked, then I ran it about another 50K (more story).. .. The mileage indeed was indeed a tad low.. Peak was about 47mpg with darned good behavior.. Average was usually around 36-40 pending on weather and the driving habits for that week... But darn did it start good..

Looking for the head studs (Yes, mandatory for 1.5 block), high volume oil pump, thermal barrier coatings, and intercooler to add longevity while staying in the 10-12psi boost range for fuel efficient travels.J.R.SoCal
he wants 1.5 internals in a 1.6 block guys, not the other way around..
Next question. Can I just use the 1.6 rod crank and main bearings? They're cheap and probably easier to find.
i picked up a new set of ARP head studs for $65.00 shipped so it was 'an offer i could not refuse"
THIEVERY!!!!
How about the prechambers? Difference between the 1.5 and 1.6 prechamber volumes that might effect compression?
