Are the blocks for the 8 valve motors and the blocks used for the 16 valve motors the same block?

reason I ask is I want to get  the .60  over rebuild kit from Calmini for my x-90.   Now I have an 8 valve motor kicking round so I figure I will use that block.  If its the same.

Yes.

However...

This applies to the BLOCK only.

If I am not mistaken, there are differences in the crank, connecting rods and pistons in terms of strength with the 16-valve setup being stronger.

+.60 seems scary-large!  Calmini has such a rebuild kit??  Perhaps there is more thickness in the steel cylinder sleeves for the 1.6 than the 1.3 block...

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply:) 

When i had Dave of asian auto make and engine for me he said he to date had not gone .60....

well not yet...


apparently there are issues finding all needed parts?

Shit,   Sorry guyz.  .060 over not .60.   LOL.

I knew that's what you meant..

The biggest I have ever heard of on a 13. G13a/b block was .040. 

.060 sound like a lot... but if Calmini sells .060 over pistons, then I guess it can be done.

its a g16, not a g13.

I wanted to know if the bocks used in an 8valve 1.6L and a 16 valve 1.6L were the same block.   No different bolt patterns,  everything the same.
