Porsche Carrera Turbo?
Now that sounds good?
I live in New Hampshire, a little way away from Washington state, lol
I am going to do a compression test here in the next day or so, so I will let you guys know what the #'s are......

Again, does anybody have the compression #'s for a good running SOHC 1.6L?

have your head milled and pressure checked if you cant see any cracks.any auto machine shop can do this for you,these heads are easy to crac or warp when overheated,

hey if its the head i got a spare one i could give you just pay for the shipping. its off of a 92 sohc with over 200k but hey its free and ive never had any overheating problems with it.

Sounds good, Nos92mx3...

question though.... will this head off a 92 be the same as the 93? will everything connect the same, or will I have to modify some things?

and also, how would you send it? C.O.D or ?

They should be the same casting between the 92 & 93 however.. you may want to yank your sensors from your head or buy new ones just in case there were other changes. While you have the head off.. check for valve damage on the exaust valves.. would be a prudent move to replace the exaust valves and maybe do a valve grind, new valve seals at the very least. Not as cheap or fast.. but.. you end up with a head that will go many more miles trouble free. Just a couple more cents

Thanks again, guys for the info.......

Hey nos92mx3, no I do not have paypal, but let me ask a few of my friends, cause I know that a few of them do...

Good News, the wife thinks it is a good idea that I fix my MX-3, cause she says that it will be great on gas, lol

I was like, "You know, hun, that is a great Idea!"

Good News, Nos92mx3...... I have a friend of mine that has paypal, so send me that quote about that head, My Mx-3 sitting in my driveway covered in snow is pretty depressing, if you know what I mean.....

Man, I cant wait to get that thing running again....
