Question for all those with a 16v 2.0 block and 16v 1.8 head

[amalventano@sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

i've been wondering about this myself lately. the head chamber volumes of
1.8 and 2.0 heads are both 45cc. so the head doesnt change c/r.
the advantage of a 1.8 head on a 2.0 block is that the 1.8 flows better t=
han
the 2.0 in their respective stock forms. this could effectively make a
person think the engine has a higher c/r since it would get slightly high=
er
max pressure readings during a compression check.

 so
the head doesn't change the compression.  The Bentley says the 2.0 comp.
ratio is 10.8:1.
