'88 MG METRO 1300 Posts: 1117 Location: Dudley, Midlands | If only the twin-cam 16v head would fit the E-series! 1500 or 1750cc with that same level of tuning... that would be putting converted K-series cars to shame!?! If someone wants to build it... I'll gladly fit it in my car and run it in for you!! | ||

Expert Posts: 4458 Location: Jelling, Denmark | the e-series engine looks very interesting as its very compatible looking and OHC. I wonder how different the gearbox actually is to an a-series box? | ||

Regular Posts: 112 Location: Hamburg, Germany | Marv_666 - 1/2/2015 1:53 AM just look around, maybe some 16V head from some other manufacturer will fit. If only the twin-cam 16v head would fit the E-series! the BMW bike head isn't a direct fit to the A, so there can be a "close enough" fitting head for the E. comparing the bore diameter and bore spacing may bring up something. some gasket makers publish this data | ||
