head is now fully stripped, it looks repairable, just need 4 new valve seats and on combustion chamber welding and reworking ,wooo! be cheaper than a new head!
valve wise, there are 4 bent valves, pics to follow later tonight when i get home!
tomorrow nights task is to pull the bottom end out the car, and gear box, send gearbox to have 4.18 final drive fitted its a fresh box so wont need rebuilding, and the diff is already in there.
when the engine is out ill get the car back to my house and give it a massive clean!
hunt is on for a cheap block, dont care about condition as long as there are no cracks or holes, need block, sump pan crank etc, not fussed about head or rods and pistons!
ill have a little gathering of all the smashed up parts tomorrow night when i retrieve the rest of them from the sump lol!

Fact is when you mod such an engine to such an extreme you have to uprate everything.
Still pics looks cool broster and i know you will be back with another beast with even more power and maybe stronger rods.
More likely to be that when you modify an engine to a large degree you shorten it's lifespan dramaticly. You can get carbon fibre pistons which only last for 1 race, for example. Or SBD race spec engines which only last for 1000 miles before they need re-building. You can uprate things as much as you like but you can't avoid it all going bang!

just saying, youve tried a tuned 1.6, maybe you should try a different engine and then you can say from experience what the best engine is - no arguments needed.

1.6 is best, its been proven in many internet based arguments

Of course the 1.6 is the best. As everybody in the argument have owned a tuned 1.6 and a tuned 2.0 in the same shell.

yeah but not eveybody has.
Fact is, the best way to resolve the age old argument is to put the same engine in the same shell with the same driver.
ideally broster and his pink rocket.

reedy, i can tell you now, mark will NOT put a 2 litre in, as he toyed with the idea before getting TB's and decided against it, because after driving Joff's, he realised that it didnt behave like he wanted an engine to... it wasnt revvy enough...
so

so
if he wants revs surely a hayabusa engine would be better

well ive driven a same aged car with identicle suspension set up and me driving, with same size wheels (same wheels actully), same tyres, one with a c16 and one with a 20xe
putting 2 engines in one shell to test back to back isnt goign to happen, so your not going to get much closer than the above test IMO
