Enrique20 Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hey everyone I am in need of an l16 head. Can anyone help? Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 all L4 series bottom ends will interchange with all L4 cylinder heads you just need a new one in general Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 But compression will suffer. Only the 210 head will give the proper numbers. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 fair enough mike - in a pinch you could toss any of em on though :) Link to comment
Eomund Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Would a closed chamber A87 work for him? If so, I'm selling one. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 It would be closer but no cigar. 210............... 8.58 Closed chamber.... 8.21 Open chamber...... 6.72 Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Funny, though, that 1973 L16s came with an open-chamber A87 stock and are listed as having an 8.5:1 CR... Something doesn't add up. I'm not going to disassemble my Mom's '73 again just to measure cc's for the (A87 Open) head or (dished factory stock) L16 pistons, but after a .030 mill on the head it pinged something fierce on anything under 94 octane. Was fine on old-school Regular leaded gas, but 87 octane Unleaded was a no-go. Oh, and the crate L16 I have came with a W53 head, FWIW. However it likely has flattops. Link to comment

This assumes stock 7.01cc L16 pistons.... 210........ 38.5cc closed.... 41cc open...... 45.2cc If flattops were used..... 210................. 9.75 closed............. 9.2 open............... 8.62 Link to comment
Eomund Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Either way, my A87 is in great shape, let me know if you want more info. Link to comment
