Does anybody know how similar the new 1368cc FIRE engine in the 2007 Panda Punto etc. is to the 1242cc unit?
I have seen cams that are sold to fit to both 16v engines, so assume that the head is v similar, i suspect that the engine is therefore v similar, although i have notice that it has a increased stroke of 2mm as well as increased bore size - this would suggest a different bottom end
There appears to be enough meat in the 1242cc block to rebore to 72mm (1242cc is 69.6mm), o would it therefore be possible to fit pistons from a 1368cc engine to a rebored 1242cc block?
Has anybody rebored a 1242cc and fitted oversize pistons? if so how far is it possible to go?
Cheers, Col
