*The pistons in a 16v motor have 4 valve reliefs where as the 8v will only have 2 reliefs per piston.* As far as I know the block, crank and everything are the same the pistons are the only difference.
Im not for sure is you can swap a 16v short block to a 8 vlave head because im not sure where or how far the valves drop, swapping might cause you to have the valves smacking your piston but dont quote me on that because im not for sure. |
