Hello!
First, to make it clear that i´m very familiar with cars/engines and so on, but has not collected that much knowledge of Fiat before, despite driving tipo/tempra as "daily communter", they never really gave me a reason to dig into them though
I´ve doned some reading, and some searching on this subject but havn´t exactly found the pinpointed info i´m after.
Have:
1pc Punto mk1 1.1 55 which has overheated, warped head and blown gasket. Bottom end looks VERY good for a 140000km engine, can´t even feel the edges that usually has developed by then from the pistonrings at the "turnpoints", don´t know the word in english.....
The head is very warped, defenitly about 0.2-0.5mm in the middle, but not visible cracks. I´m not shure if i should spend money on having int machined or just pick another head at a scrappy and "refurbish".
In a scrappy nearby there´s a punto 75 1.2mpi, i understand that head is fitted with a somewhat "hotter" cam, but can i use this head on my engine?, by a quick look the bolting for the inlet and exhaust and other things, looks the same.
Looks like i can just take that head as a whole, refurbish and bolt the 1.1 55 externals to it and go?
Pro´s / Con´s ?
