ya, the head. replace it with a 1.8l head, and have some fun http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

The 1.8 head would definitely be better - but at the bare minimum you would most likely need all the intake valves and a handful of gaskets.

the pistons may have hit the valves too, so check that. it's not a cheap proposition when you consider how much money when it comes time to replace stuff.

bent valves It would be cheaper just to get a head

Unless you get a really good deal on a head replacing the valves would still be cheaper. But the 2L head could be sold to offset the cost of the 1.8L head.

hmmm, well, I was recently quoted approx $250 for all 16 intake/exhaust valves. I bought my spare head for $275. considering the fact that you should be replacing the lifters regardless (approx $220) it's still makes more sense to get another head.( to me at least) (oh, and all prices are in Canadian $)
