Bronze valve guides, 3 angle valve seats and exhaust ports opened up. Need to wait for my new inlet manifold before i can have the inlet ports matched to it.

Needs a skim but looking good so far :grinning:

Who's doing that for you Pacman?

C20XE and MI16 heads are interchangable are they not? (Don't know much about it so please don't slate me lol)

Yup they are. You can combine the top and bottom of either engine.
I cant remember now which works best.

Thats what i was told whgen i bought it, although i hadn't seen it beforehand. Not overly fussed if they haven't been done anyway as i gather they only less than a tenner per valve to be cut. Sound about right?

Yoiu have PM by the way, Steven.

Apparently so, although i doubt they are 'interchangeable' as suggested. Surely there would be some machining required to match the oilways up at least? :?

Not from what Ive seen. The oil ways are actually pretty similar apparently!
There was a post about it all on MIG recently and they were comparing a redtop bottom end with a Mi16 head and vise versa.

with re-engineering, pretty much anything can be achieved.

I have had a motorbike head on an A-series for example, it means making pulleys to drive the overhead cams as well as the std pushrod one (as it drives oil pump).. and welding oil ports and waterways.

I'll tell ya ever better than that... The 6 cylinder Carlton 24V Head fits straight onto a manta 4 cylinder 1.8 botton end... And Probley the 2.0 Vaux engines aswell... You just get an angle grinder and chop off the 2 cylinders you dont need... Dont have to patch up water or oil gallery's or anything ..
