very nice lookin ride
I wonder how well your engine will start with the 1.9 head. I've wanted to do that conversion as well

Once Mark's (Malone) new, @ the time, motor was broken in he had no problems with that swap either. :wink:

hmm, after i get a 2.5" down pipe, an intercooler installed, governor, and some 4b cummins goodies on my injector pump (which with all that stuff i'm sure i'd easily be in the 15's cause i am evil haha) i'd like to do a 1.9 head swap with studs and a metal gasket on my car, it will be a bit of a pita since my car is a solid lifter but hehe hopefully i can get this all done next year. but i also dunno about putting all that money into it, when a tdi-m seems to look alot more optimistic.

Yeah, drove from new to 10,000km through the Winter season without starting difficulties with a 1-hole headgasket, and that was with a shaved deck on the 1.9 head for lower compression. A standard 1.9 head on a 1.6 block is nothing to worry about.

yea lowering the compression ratio on your motor can make it perform better. The only real reason our motors have 23:1 is for cold starts. I said before on this forum somewhere that when my mechanic was in Poland there were these old Russian trucks that would start on gasoline, and then run on diesel (lol I know... must have smoked like a chimney! but they still ran!)
I believe our motors could run sufficiently with 17:1 cr, or maybe lower.
Once I get my zero-start coolant heater hooked up, and my marine battery+inverter, I won't have to worry about cold starts whatsoever... My car starts great now, but who knows about when its -25C... The heat will be great for short trip as well. Any small amount of heat you can throw at the motor before a cold start is going to help keep it alive longer.
