Been asked to do a cambelt on a 1.4 XU engine where the pulley wheel failed. I know there will be bent bits inside the head, but does anybody know if it is both inlet and exhaust or just one set?
Checked the archive, but very little details on this lump. Nice car though, no rust and worth saving. May appear here in the for sale forum, once it is up and running.

At a guess i would say you are going to have to replace two exhaust valves, ive done a couple of Saxo snapped belts now and its always the exhaust valves that take it, not a bad job, its a nice little engine really.

XU??? Richard looks like a senior moment
depends on how many revs she had on when she went,
these engines ( TU ) are very easy to work on you dont even need to remove the O/S/F wheel, as it can all be done from under the lid/bonnet,
i do have an AX TU head we had skimed and all valves re/faced/seated never used, its only a 1.0/945??CC not sure what diference's there is/are (valve size??)

I had not thought about head interchangeability
I would (guess!) the valves might be smaller on the 1.1 compared to the 1.4, maybe the cam profile too (carb / mono / multipoint)
The blocks, well the 1.6 is different in that the 1.6 has a cast block and the smaller units have the liner'ed ones.
