so the same buddy that crashed his 1995 dx sedan 1.5 wants to sell it for 100 bucks. The engine still runs and it runs like a top. Ill probably buy it and use it for parts. I am wondering, can i swap the head from my 8v cx to his 16v? Is it a direct bolt on and a easy job to do? Should i clean up the head in anyway if i decide to do the swap?
thanks fur anyhelp

 

also can i buy this tach on ebay and just plug it in and go?

well i have about a week off so im just gona try it. I think the 2 heads are basically the same just more valves right?
ill let you know if it works or not

 

are you trying to use the 8v, or the 16v?

 

16v

 

ok. it was kinda confusing at first. if you havent done it yet, take the head to a local machine shop and have it milled about 20 thousanths. if you use premium fuel all the time, it will give you a nice boost in power. if you dont use premium, then you could hurt the motor. it raises the compression a decent amount, and shouldnt cost more than about 30 bucks.
