Lifters/followers: Are Mi16 And S16 Interchangeable?

[Stu 18]

Hi guys,

 

Im looking for a set of lifters to recondition for the Mi, and wondered if the S16 were of any use?

 

If anyone's got a set or a cheap complete head drop me a pm.

AFAIK Mi16 and S16 lifters are identical - the two heads are very closely related.

yep its the same part number as the XU10J4 block (S16) and also the 8v 2.0 turbo lump & XU7JP4 (1.8i?), tbh its seems a common art across a number of engines

 

part no. 0942 30

How does that work then, as aren't 2.0 8v Turbo's solid lifters like other XU 8v engines, whereas Mi16/S16 are hydraulic?

Hmm.. That part number is defo for an Mi16 lifter, but at £20 a piece i think ill try reconditioning a set first..

 

Im just hoping i havent got a bent valve thats tapping, i was convinced it was a lifter till i started reading things on here...

 

If i wanted to rebuild an S16 head and fit that to the Mi, whats involved?

sorry my bad i misread the engine code, its the INJECTION XU10J4 OR TURBO INJECTION XU10J4TE which have the same as mi16. So NOT hte 8v turbo which is XU10J2TE

Stu, the Mi16 exhaust manifold won't fit the S16 head.

Yeah i thought that, i wondered how much grief it would be to use the S16 mainfold and mod my downpipe.. again..
