christopher 5 1 Cars Posted November 6, 2007 As above. Is there anything special that I need?? Which parts do I use from an 8V? Tensioner? Water Pump? What else do I need to be aware of? Thanks Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RossD 44 Posted November 6, 2007 I thought the blocks were pretty much the same apart from a hole in the 16v block for the extra tensioner/idler for the 16v cambelt. Water pump should be the same iirc. Use the 8v tensioner (But saying that the 16v one could be the same) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted November 6, 2007 You have to swap the cambelt sprocket (19 to 21 tooth), unless you use a later 8v cam pulley (38 vs 42 tooth). That's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopher 5 1 Cars Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Ok Thanks guys.. As far as the tensioner. I'm really not sure what to use. I mean the 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 8v, 1.6 16v all I think have different part numbers What is the difference I don't know Edited November 7, 2007 by christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dj_mini 7 Posted November 7, 2007 Your also need to block up the oil return pipe from the 16v head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopher 5 1 Cars Posted November 7, 2007 Your also need to block up the oil return pipe from the 16v head. Yeah I was wondering about that. Its not any use then? Ventilation or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
