16v head on a 1.7L engine

[enordrum@hotmail.com (earl nordrum)]

Wouldn't you have detonation?  Don't 16v cars have different piston types 
than 8v cars?  Also the oil drain in the front of the head wouldn't match up 
with the 1.7 block...Am I right?  Be better off getting a 16v block to avoid 
more costly expenses and surprises I would imagine.
