Title: Head
Post by: olefafl on February 16, 2009, 07:15:45 PM: Will a 1.3 Samurai head fit a 1.6 Tracker?
I have a exh valve leaking on a 1.6 and someone local has a 1.3 head.
I don't know whats wrong with the valve yet, but wanted to see if they will work so I can have it here if I tear it apart.

Is this for an 8 valve to an 8 valve?

Post by: olefafl on February 17, 2009, 02:00:03 PM: Yes, its an 8v to 8v.

Post by: Drone637 on February 17, 2009, 02:50:19 PM: It should work, there are a few changes that need to be made that I can't think of at the moment. But they should physically match up.

Or if you want I have a supposedly good 8 valve 1.6L head I'll sell you for cheap. :D

I have one on my 1.6 with a Weber 32/36.

Depending on the head, you'll have to deal with fuel pump problems - early mechanical vs FI electrical.

Thanks, will I lose a little power because the ports are smaller on the 1.3?

I don't really know. I went from a 1.3 to a 1.6 8-valve. Here is where I got the engine:

It was a BIG improvement over the 1.3...

I think that the exhaust valves are a little smaller too. The inlet manifold won't be very well matched either although you could open up the 1.3 ports a little. The 1.3 cam is a little softer too so you may also have problems with the mapping on the ECU. You may be able to use the 1.6 cam I've never been able to get a definitive answer on that one.

Too Funny,

So My wife for three days prior to Valentines day kept sating what she was he was going to give me for valentines day, and after 27 years of Marriage I would just laugh.

Well wasent I surprised to find a rather large and heavy gift on valentines day morning. :P

Yep the new "HEAD" I was wanting for my new motor 8)

Post by: olefafl on February 20, 2009, 07:07:08 PM: I think I'll skip the 1.3 head. I may just pull it and see what the trouble is, then deside what I will do.

Anybody want to by a 92 Tracker 4x2 auto? :D
Has about 40lbs on cly 2, its going out the exh valve, others are 160lbs.
