monty69 6 Posted August 19, 2007 Does the s16 engine suffer from oil surge as bad as mi16? Anyone know if the oil returns in head are better designed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 20, 2007 Yes they do suffer from surge, the head is basically the 1.9 engine with a few minor mod's, The only slightly helpful thing is the single trap door baffled sump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted August 23, 2007 As Miles says, the head is the same, but the engine has a different bore & stroke. Also it is cast iron vs aluminium. The S16 has a baffled sump with a trapdoor and a different oilpump. Also it has a build in windage tray. So yes, it does suffer from oil starvation, but much less then the Mi16.
