Technical 1108-1242 head gasket

[ycming]

So what is the different between 1242 8v fire and 1242 8v superfire??

Is the superfire, the one found in punto 75?? or is much more rarer than that ?

Thanks

Like I say, alloy sump with crank support, coil per cylinder, metal head gasket, yellow oil filler. The Punto 75 is just an early MPI, nowt super about it.

It's not a question of rarity as such, but of newness.

Hmm ....

So is not designed to be in any specific car, so which car have u seen these engine in ??

Power wise, how does it compare to the normal fire?

Internally, what is different compare to the normal fire??

This is just personal interest

Thanks for answering!

You'll find them on any newish FIAT with a 1.2 engine. I'd guess they make a smidgeon more power than the old 1.2s, but only as a result of a higher CR. Internal differences seem to be nothing more than the main bearing brace and metal one peice head gasket.
