C2 16V Bottem End

[Br00dal 0]

After having no luck trying to get parts I have sorta given up, Spoke to a mate of mine that says the head (106xsi 1.6) I am using should fit a 1.6 16v C2 bottom end, Anyone know if this is true?

Sorry to be so vague I am looking for TU5J4 pistons, I have been searching for a while now

I feel like I have been shot in the foot here, the engine I had dropped a valve destroying the head and damaging one of the pistons, I have sent it off to a guy that was recommend to me by a mate. It has been in his garage for about 4months now and I have been waiting on a set of pistons for the hole duration of that.

Seems like to much of a waste to scrap it and buy a new one :/ or is it me just being a sausage ?

[welshpug 1,661]

oh its that one, ask sandy, he might be able to sort them for you.

 

you'll need him to sort the cutouts anyway, personally I;d take the whole engine down to sandy as no doubt he'd like to know what's happened to an engine he had a hand in building (can't remember if he did the whole lot or not)

One thing to watch out for if you use a 16v bottom end with an 8v head: I think the cambelt sprocket on the crank is different between 8v and 16v models, so make sure you use the correct one for your head otherwise you'll end up with a lot of bent valves!
