Pinto heads
I have just aquired a 2.0 carb pinto head that I am going to put on my 1600. i have been told that these have better flow and bigger valves. Is this
correct and am I likely to get more power from my 1600 if I go this route with webber 40s or bike carbs?
TIA

Assuming you have the normal 1.6 not the ong stroke then I think you'll do a great job of increasing the combustion chamber volume and lowering
the compression ratio. Bye bye power.
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

The heads that you want are 1.6GT heads.
1.6 compression ratio but with 2.0 valves & camshaft.
OR
If you want to be silly get a 1.3 head and modify it to take the 2.0 cam and valves, this would take you compression ratio up to about 11:1 . 
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

How much can I skim the 2litre head to reduce the combusion chamber volume?

Why not use it to lower the compression then stick a supercharger on it....
You know you want to....
