Iv decided that it i was going to turbo the 16i i would listen to what people have said and lower the compression from the start so i started today by taking the head off.


Coils and manifold off.


Carbs removed.


Rockers and lifters removed.



And finaly head is off.



Bores look in ok condition.



Head looks in good condition. Will get the valves and tomorrow to make sure everything is ok.




I take it that the adjuster lifters should look like this...



And not like this one. There was only one in there that was like this.

Will also get the sump of and pistons out tomorrow ready for the turbo rods and pistons to arrive. Had to call it a day at lunch time as the boss wanted some painting done.
Will update tomorrow night.
