pinto heads??

[Retro-gone.]

someone just told me 16 and 2.0 pinto heads are identical except for the cam? is that correct? i would of thought the 2.0 valves were bigger and the manifold exits were bigger??

i am fairly sure they are different, sure people used to put 1600 heads on 2lt engines, think it raised the compression or summert?

Different....

 

1.6 head has shallower chambers, we used to put one-six GT heads on 2 litres to get good compression but dont bother with a standard one six head as the valves are too small, the cam is also a milder cam than the 2 litres.

 

you can however fir the 2 litre cam to the 1.6 as an upgrade and it works pretty good for about 6 brake more.

aahhh was it only the GT heads?

Gt heads have the same combustion chamber as the normal 1.6 but have larger 2.0 valves

so you get the increase comp and still keep the same flow
