are you using a turbo?otherwise the compression will be too low without changing pistons as well.
as for the belt run a tape measure round all the pulleys,the belt will be marked with its length

think you wil have to change pistons as thy are a diffo shape,skimming the head wont be enough

Sorry conrod but I think you'll find that 1.8 cvh with 1.6 head means that the compression ratio will actually be HIGHER. Its an old trick that
I used on Kent engines (Replace pistons with same size pistons from next engine down) AND Pinto's, fit 1.6GT head (same size valves & cam
shaft as 2.0) but compression goes up to about 11:1.
Enjoy.
Oh and the 1.6 head will have smaller valves and ports than a 1.8 so that will drastically alter/increase the air flow through the carb giving some
wierd/unusal running characteristics.

ZVH engine.
I think you're getting the engines mixed up. I've read it lowers compression when fitted to the Zetec engineso you can fit a turbo and up
the capacity.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

jgg,we tried this with chrisw,s engine,the pistons are a totally diffo shape with a lot less squish on the 1800,s,i know about the Xflow trick,its
just a smaller cutout in the piston tops on 1300,s
