head swap possible?

Re: head swap possible?
That is an excellent question, much better than those stinkin' muffler questions.<P>Hopefully David will reply. <P>I'm not certain of the answer but I believe the valves are spaced too far apart for the bore size (i.e., valves can contact cylinder bore).

Re: head swap possible?
Pelado is right: the valves are too far apart for a 75mm bore. Also, the combustion chamber is bigger than a K8 head, so you'd lose effective compression. Might make an interesting turbo setup if you bored it over to ~85mm.

I used to know alot about MX-3's, but not so much anymore. Oh well.
