I searched but couldn't find much on this. If it is on here sorry for the post, but can you put a 1.9 head on a 1.6 TD block? If so what if any are the benefits?

it bolts right on but you need the right valve cover and intake manifold, the exhaust and injectors and glow plugs are the same.  the benefits are lower compression and much better flowing head.
