Lugnuts

pretty sure the answer is 1600 p&c's.

BUT

you may need to cahnge head studs cause the 1300 aint long enough and you will have small valve heads for a 1600.

You got P&C's

I have a 2nd hand set if interested

Thanks Barry,ile buy a new set if i have too,im a bit unsure as too what the comp is gunna be,if i was keen i should cc the head,hmmm maybe.:thumb

Yes you can fit 1600 B & Ps with your 1300 heads, but you will have slightly smaller inlet and exhaust valves.

The engine will run but it will be less power than a true 1600.

Or you could get some 1600 DP heads and fit them at the same time together with mainifolds etc etc.

Hi guys,i dug out some 1600 barrels and tried to shove em up my 1300 heads,guess what no fit,1600 heads are 94mm across and 1300 heads are 90mm across,but the good news is 1600 barrels fit a 1300 case,so who knows where i can get my 1300 heads machined to 94mm.:(

Take the oportunity to get some bigger heads like vw54 suggested then yuo'll really notice the change.

No can do already spent $250 on my 1300 heads,this motor is my daily driver motor until my other motor is ready.

Not much of an answer but it is right.

I mean unless YOU know a machinist yourself you should work through a shop.
Places like V Force and VVDS deal with probabally several machinists and know what to do.
Nothin worse than paying for machining only to find that for some reason you shouldnt have paid for what you did.

Make sense? :jesus

:bounce So we can change the p&c to increase the size of our engines COOL i like this :beer
