pugpete1108 62 1 Cars Posted July 30, 2006 right i was told that a 16v mi head will fit on a 8v 2.0l block , is this right ? i am still considering buying a xantia vsx engine (8v) and putting a 16v (alloy block xu9) head on it .(purely for cost) can anyone give definite clarification wether this is possible and what year /engine codes are compatible. cheers guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jochem 0 Posted August 1, 2006 They fit, but your pistons and valves will hit. You would need to grind the pistons or get some from a 16v lump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
