the heads are the same, valve sizes are the same, the part numbers for the heads are the same!

part numbers for the heads aren't the same, as the X14XE has smaller ports, even though the valves are the same size.

cams are different too. you'd gain about 4bhp.

surely the 4bhp gain will only be seen using the 16xe inlet too, otherwise the majority of the air tract is still smaller diameter
