Re: (Tech)1.9L Head swap questions

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

I have done this 1.8l head on a 1.5-1.7l block many times and I think the 
machinist only charged me about 100$ to do the machine work. Very much worth 
the job. Spend the dough to have it done. try it out. use a 1.6l headgasket 
and run whatcha got!
