The price of a litre!

An oil burning 16V might not need new rings but if you are pulling it down then they would be worth changing.

I would definitely be changing the exhaust valve guides on any motor with 100,000 miles/160,000 KMs.

I wouldn't toy around. I'd get a complete rebuild kit for piece of mind if I didn't know the history of the engine. That said, you can tell a lot as soon as you pull the head off.

You can either re-sleeve the block - AFAIK gtimk5 has had success with this - or buy oversize 83mm or 83.5mm pistons. The stock bore is 82.5mm.

www.eurospecsport is the place to buy parts.

16v on 45s is hugely expensive: you need a good manifold, properly jetted carbs, a tune up, a new ignition setup (most yanks use MSD - also not cheap), an ABF water outlet (with some manifolds) etc etc. Not cheap

so you can buy a full rebuild kit!
A friends dad has the full porting and polishing kit so we will be tucking into the engine with porting and polishing (when i get one) as he is keen to help me build an engine.
so its more economically viable just to convert my carby car to fuel injection? but im not looking at a cheap option, im looking for the power and straight forward option, which ever is easiest to obtain the most amount of street power possible.
thanks for the link Valver!
