had a bit of a look in to it and got the bore's and stroke's of the engines


1.8vvc 80.00x 89.30


1.6 80.00x 79.00


so technically it should be a stright swap of head no alteration to it????

All the K series heads are interchangeable mate but the VVC 'super cylinder' head needs a blanking kit so solid cams can be fitted. Also the VVC head is near enough the exact same as the VHPD head which costs ?????...it has alot bigger valves and a much better combustion chamber.

So its as follows-

The 1.4 head has the smallest valves and the porting is not great

The 1.6 and 1.8 non VVC heads are near enough the same with bigger valves etc

The 1.8 VVC head is the best as above...the best base for modding.

Cheers
