Going to do cambelt, tensioner and water pump next weekend and then change the dizzy over again.

Oh there will most certainly be goodies old chap Will be interesting if a head swap solves it and then stripping down the "noisy" head and figgering out what was the culprit ..

Just double check the head going on has no issues so you can be sure that it's a good'un going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Interesting! I asked about using a B16 head on the C4 a while back, think it'll change your compression but not sure how it'll actually affect the running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think in fairness that if only ever put a teg head on. Not really sure whether therrs much of an advantage for the a2!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ah right, I think I was asking about the C6 head at the time. No idea about the a2 head other than you'll probably want to use the inlet manifold as well I would guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the outlet .. A c6 head would defo be the way to go to get a decent gain .. But if you were going to do the head, why not save and get a whole engine .. Always swings and round abouts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always swings and round abouts!!I thought they all had the same sized inlets apart from the C1 and C4 which are taller? Yeah agree on going for the full C6 or C swap, though the money involved could see more power from boosted conversion too! Definitely a few options with varying outcomes!
