Title: Engine blocks
Post by: Evolvocane on April 09, 2006, 08:41:22 AM

Are the blocks for the 8 valve motors and the blocks used for the 16 valve motors the same block?

reason I ask is I want to get  the .60  over rebuild kit from Calmini for my x-90.   Now I have an 8 valve motor kicking round so I figure I will use that block.  If its the same.

Yes.

However...

This applies to the BLOCK only.

If I am not mistaken, there are differences in the crank, connecting rods and pistons in terms of strength with the 16-valve setup being stronger.

+.60 seems scary-large!  Calmini has such a rebuild kit??  Perhaps there is more thickness in the steel cylinder sleeves for the 1.6 than the 1.3 block...

Hope this helps!

I knew that's what you meant..

The biggest I have ever heard of on a 13. G13a/b block was .040. 

.060 sound like a lot... but if Calmini sells .060 over pistons, then I guess it can be done.

its a g16, not a g13.

I wanted to know if the bocks used in an 8valve 1.6L and a 16 valve 1.6L were the same block.   No different bolt patterns,  everything the same.
