Entire 1900 Head Onto 1600 Bottom End

[jtek 0]

basically i have been offered the entire head/cam from a 1.9, which i intend to put on to my 1.6. i have read all the previous articles debating the performance of the two cams and various issues of timing a 1.9 cam aswell, but i am guessing this is when people put a 1.9 cam in a 1.6 head with the pulleys etc. so what i really wanted to know was if i put this entire head on my 1600, will i have issues timing it, and will the standard 1600 dizzy be ok also? and would there be any other fitting issues? from what i have read so far it seems the 1.9 cam is a bit more lazy but i am not sure if that is a result of poor timing more then anything? any thoughts or recommendations welcome

thanks

its not the cam that feels lazy, rather the comparatively long stroke bottom end.

Should be fine, mine was 1.9 cam, in XU10 head, on 1.6 bottom end and it goes like a dream.
