Re: Timing - 1.6 w/ hydraulic head

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

i havent been following this thread too much

You DO mean cam bearing caps right? Not followers?

with respect to the head I.D. does your uppper radiator hose come out of the 
head between #3 and #4 spark plug area? If so then you have a 1.8L head. If 
it comees out between #1 and #2 spark plugs then you have a 1.5,1.6,1.7L 
head.

Modification telltales are the oil return galleys. The one between #2 and #3 
spark plug areas will be larger than the receiving end @ the block. there 
will also be one between #1 and #2 that will be completely blocked off. I 
have done this a few times before and have had pretty good results.
