Hi,
I am soon going to be having some engine work done to my 1.6 hlx.
New piston rings, small inrease in compression, cylinder head flowed, 3 angle valve seats, and the cam reprofiled by Kent cams, crank and flywheel balanced.
I have just had the car on the rolling road so I can do a before and after comparison.
This shows though how good the 1.6 motor is as stock. It is only supposed to make 103 horsepower at the crank, my car (nearly 90,000 miles on the clock) which has had no tuning so far apart from a K&N filter is making 108.5hp @5350rpm, 109.4 ft/lb torquw @ 4946rpm.
