With the heron head don't you end up with a pretty awful combustion chamber shape using flat top pistons? (i.e. worse than the already not great design).
I know but it does work and with the right BV head cam and CR with those pistons flies round the tacho like a 16 valve motor, a long time ago mind.im gonna have to try and find some vernier callipers, as when i measured it with a tape measure it came up at 84mm bore although i only did it quick so could have slipped a little!
the engine was sold to me as being a 1.6 dont worry, im far from disappointed! lol
heres the head, i believe it needs the ports opening up some more, i think the valves are 41mm and 36mm
