The mad scientist (Ryan G1) kindly ripped out my x14xe 1.4 16v wich had low comp in piston 1 and drank oil so assumed the piston rings were away.

anyhoo he fired a x16xe 1.6 16v in for me. made a crackin job of it too

New Engine before it went in




old one out









Both side by side




can hardly tell the difference between 1.4 and 1.6

new one in





Runs a dream and is a shed load quicker than the buggered x14xe

1.6 seems to be more oval shape and 1.4 more circular

nice work

although would have been a good idea to block the inlet manifold up with a cloth or tape during installation. would have been a major fcuk up if something had fell down there!
