1600 into 1300 will it go?
« on: 24 January 2009, 14:11 »
Hi,
My son's 1300 is causing problems. Head's been off and skimmed to have a new head gasket fitted, after reassembly garage says there is interference when engine is turned over by hand. They suggest that the head had already been skimmed and now valves are touching piston heads. Any (polite) suggestions please folks? Also I have heard of a 1600 engine nearby would this fit? Cheers for any ideas, Rich

you can get the top of the valves milled off a little

head will need to be off again though

1.6 wont fit in because the 1.3 and the 1.6 have different engine mounting locations.

It WILL fit. You just have to make it fit, if that means a 1.6 sub frame, wishbones etc etc so be it.
Might have to change fuel lines too.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

a jet engine will also fit a mk2 if you make it fit. all im saying is aint not worth putting a 1.6 into a 1.3. Just buy a 1.6.

what are you 2 on about :grin:
1.6 will drop right in on the existing engine mounts, just need the correct engine brackets on the block, and the gearbox to go with it.  Main issue is the exhaust, plus the carb wiring will need a bit of jiggery.

1.3 has mounting on the side next to the cambelt. 1.6 has in at the rear of the engine. It CAN fit but it needs major work.
