So have you put the 1.6 block in? Or changed anything? If it's still the original AX lump and head then @CitroJim would be a wealth of info. But you need to be clear on what you want to know. This isn't a modification site.

Much the same questions as unanswered there - why retain the 1.1 head? And indeed, mention of a 1.4 cam - that's 3 engines in bits and I'm not sure as to why!

Would the 1.1 head change the compression ratio? Or would it increase the piston movement to a higher rpm and destroy the engine early?
