I swapped my 1.3L for a 1.6 8v in my sammy. I used the carb, intake, and exhaust manifold off the 1.3. Started up perfect. Drove it down the road and lots of white smoke. when i got back it was over flowing oil and water out of the dip stick tube. did i use parts that don't interchange? Did i put the intake gasket on wrong? This has been a year and I am SUPER exited to get it going so please help ASAP! I know maybe head gasket... cracked head...etc. Anything simple? I might just put the 1.3L head on it if I don't get it soon.

sounds like a blown head gasket to me.
its not a hard or exspensive fix tho,
-
looks like there is something internaly wrong with the motor. the 1.3 intake and exhaust should bolt up to a 1.6 8v just fine.
-
My dad thinks i might have put the intake gasket on wrong. Is there only 1 way to put it on? Last... Anyone have a picture of the intake side of the engine so I can make sure that the hoses are in the right places...

im assuming the engine was running before you did the swap and not left set over the winter and thus froze and cracked a water passage
did you have the head checked before you put it on ?
when you tourqed the head down , did you follow the sugested patern ?
with that much water your dumping coolent strait to a oil passage and to the cylinders .
drain the engine completely .
pull the head off and look at the gasket you will be able to tell where the leak is crossing over at .
take the head down to a mechine shop and have them check it to make shur its not warpped .
now someone else here with more knowlage on suzuki engines then I do should be able to tell you also about the head bolts . im not sure if suzuki does this or not . but i know chevy on a couple of their engines , have head bolts that screw right into coolent passages . if you dont put on a sealing compund on those bolts , coolent will pump right up into the valve covers and down into the oil pan .
this will also act like a blow head gasket becouse the coolent leack around the valves into the cylinders
sounds to me like you have 1 of4 things happening or a combination of all 4
1) cracked coolent passage 3
2) warped head and thus a baddly blow head gasket
3) the engine has a head bolt that goes into a coolent passage and is not sealed . thus is leaking coolent up onto the cam down into the crank case and through the valve seals into the cylinders
4) intake gasket gasket leaking coolent into the intake .
i wouldnt think that would be the case though as with that much water the engine should have locked up

Has anyone put a 1.3 carb on a 1.6? I just went to buy a new gasket and they are quite a bit different. Not sure which one I should use...
-
The 1.3 intake will bolt up to a 1.6L 8 valve engine.
-
drone. what gasket do you use?
-
You will use the standard intake gasket for a 1.3L Samurai. Just give you local auto parts store a call and they should either have one in stock or be able to order one next day.
-
sweet thanks. I put a 1.6L gasket on. that is probably why it was leaking....
-
Put the $3.99 1.3L gasket on and that fixed it! runs great now.
