Punto 1.2 Sporting yes?

The 1242 16v? Wont go in easily...I'll say that much, but if you want it to go in, it can be done!!

As I have done it I can tell that it is not as difficult as it may seem. But this is probably easy to say for me doing such kind of work for a living.

Ooh...whilst were on the subject...what clearance needs to be made between the pistons and valves is using a 60 or 75 block and a 16v head to prevent the valves getting bent every cycle?

Im sure I read the SuperFIRE 1242 is an interference design, unlike the FIRE's noninterference design. Im sure 2mm has come up before, is this a hard and fast number, cos Id be interested to see how that'd effect CR, as it may make lfe easier if I was to look at a forced induction system
