They are with added pockets by the way, and pictures of DIY headwork performed by a mate. | |

when you want to use the 264 cams optimal, use a x1.6xe head or ported the inlet ports of a 1.4 head to 55mm | |

yes, he used x14xe head, although we always thought 1.4/1.6 heads were the same.. at least that's what EPC says ;) | |

and don't forget to use a x1.6xe inlet manifold | |

yes, the x14xe heads are different, although with headwork they will both be the same. | |

Did he used a X1.4XE cylinderhead?yes, the inlet ports from a X1.4XE head and the inlet manifold are smaller than the X1.6XE. When you use your X.1.4XE head with 264 cams, your power will drop after 6800rpm. And with a X1.6XE head\inlet manifold and 264 cams your power will drop after 7500rpm. | |

1.6 pistons are pocketed as standard tho.... with 264 cams you wont need to pocket them more than standard. would go for 264 cams max. | |

i had a similar spec engine and i got 155 bhp with standard cams (need to be fitted with verniers to dial them in properly) and omex management. | |

a friend of mine is building a road spec x16xe. it used to be a 1.4, but he used a crank and pistons from 1.6 and rebored the block so everything fits inside - no problems so far :thumbs: |
