ok a while back i picked up a head and intake with throttle body from a guy and he told me it was a 1.6L 8V head but now im second guessing that because it has a spot in the back of the head like the 1.3 for a mech fuel pump it has a cover on it but when I took it off there is definately a hole there. He wasnt sure of the year exactly but said that he was told it was from a 92 or later sidekick. I know the pics arent clear and im sorry I have tremors.

Can anyone help me in figuring this out? since it looks like its been gone through not long ago and still has the little heat tabs on it I would like to have it cleaned and resurfaced and put new valve guide seals on it and sell it but I need to know what size head it is so I can get the right seals.

The 8v head on both the 1.3 and 1.6 are the same in appearance. On EFI models they just capped the mechanical fuel pump hole, but it was still there.
If I recall, the 1.6 head had bigger valves but that was about the only difference.

The deck height is taller on the 1.6, exhaust valves are bigger by about 2mm, intakes are like .5 mm bigger also
