Twin 40's - Help 1.8 CVH pinto
mad4x4 - 14/8/03 at 09:18 PM

Help,
I have just been offered a set of tiwn 40's off of a 1.6CVH engine. Looking at these I am unsure if these will fitt the 1.8 CVH serria engine.

The problem being that on the 1.8CVH the water inlet on the engine goes into the front of the inlet manifold and is ducted to the port just under the fuel pump.

On the twin 40's manifold there is no inlet for water. Is there anyway on plumbing the 1.8 CVH so that the tiwn 40's will work?

I guess I need to find somewhere else for the water to enter the block. Any suggestion? Photos would help!

Will the 1.6cvh head fit on it ? I think this is a common cure for a lot of problems. Try a search on the list.

yours, Pete.

I've answered this already !!!!!

Yes the 1600 head will go on but the resulting CR is too low ,you have to use special pistons.
