Hi all, my 1600 is in the garage for a mild rebuild before it goes into the car.

I am hoping to fit twin 40's to it also. At the moment I'm down to stripping the engine for a clean and check and I wondered if anyone had any comparisons with all the tuning mods I have read about?

I'm working through the Crossflow rebuild book but wanted personal experiences.

Also is there a way to check the age of the engine as I think the cylinder head has been faced - I can only see 4 numbers on the engine number...

Thanks
Rich

if you know the casting number, that can give a range of years but you really need the 2 letters in the engine number to narrow it down to year/month.

Ive got a 1700 crossflow running aout 135-140bhp if you need to know anything
