16 valve heads
Posted: 15 Jun 2003, 08:01
does anyone know if you can get 16 valve heads for the 1800 beta coupe like the grp4 cars had or if any other 16 valve heads will fit?
Unfortunately the news here isn't good.... An original 16 valve head is super super rare. The other head that will fit is (oddly enough!) equally rare and comes from the 131 or 124 16 valve engines.The trouble being that post Beta/131/124 the engines were reverse head types and as such are not compatible with the Beta unit.
If money is no object then it should be possible to get a head for such a conversion, otherwise it's a case of putting up with an 8 vlave head - sorry!
