Yes, RSi ignition should also be fine with it

if the 1600i engine had been stood about for a few year before you put it in it could just need a good engine flush. i had this with a cvh engine. the flush sorted it as the tappets had dried to fook.. got all the crap out and it was fine.. I might be wrong but its gotta be cheaper an worth a try for the price of engine flush

Why not just adjust the tappets to the right settings or am I totally missing something?
