yeah but they are a lot lighter than the others, just stripped a engine down with a bent conrod

sorry to bring this up but i cant find the answer to my question

 

i just got a 1.4 xsi (106) engine and i have a 1.4 xs (205) engine i was wondering..

 

do the xsi piston tops fit onto the xs con rods as he said there alot lighter and i would gain compression from the domed tops

 

or do i just put the hole xsi crank and pistons in?

 

i wont to keep the alloy block as its lighter and i have done SOOO much to my xs head already

 

any help would be great

 

cheers rod

I said the newer tu engines have thinner rods. the rods and crank on the 106 xsi and 205 xs are pretty much the same. as for compression ratio, i dont know what it would be
