I was just wondering if anyone had the blueprints or knows where to get them for the 1.6 sohc mx3?
This would be a great help i just dont want to go at it with a dy grinder and screw something up.

Thanks

blue prints? Port the head until the ports are a little(just barely) bigger than the stock gasket, then enlarge the gasket to accommodate. Then i'd suggest having a machine shop do a valve job.
Personally i velocity stack everything i do...Big on the out side and gradually smaller as you move in.
just my 2c
but if you dont feel comfortable doing it get it done by some one who has before. and BTW i've got a stock SOHC head and an I/M that i ported if you want them...(for free)
