Pic Request: DOHC 1.6 motor

Post by thecause17 »

I was in the local junk yard yesterday and I happened across a Mercury Capri. Does anyone know what common parts they share with Mazdas? This one had a DOHC motor in it, and I'm looking at the specs and the non turbo was a 100hp motor, and then the turbo Capri was 132hp? Is the turbo the B6T? The only difference between the two motors in the Capri is the turbo and comp. ratio.<p>Anyways, I'd lke to see come pics of the dohc 1.6's in MX-3's, and verify that it's the same motor for future reference. If it's the same, I'll consider making it available for sale to you guys here. :)

It looks very similar, although this one had red on the valve cover. I guess the best way is for me to snap a pic of it and post it here. I will next time I go. :)

So judging by what that page says,it's the same mmotor from the '94-'95 MX-3's. <p>Another question...Is the only difference between the SOHC and the DOHC 1.6 the head itself? So can you sap a DOHC head onto an originally SOHC engine?
