Not many rules really, this board being aimed at technical issues, it shouldn't fall foul (hopefully) of some of the more personal issues that can affect forums.
Rule 1 - Is that you need to think very carefully before posting anything technical or asking anything technical relating to the security system of the car - See 'Security Issues' sticky for more info.
Rule 2 - We (MGF Register) do not support copyright infringement and therefore references to CD ROM, PDF versions or paper copies of the workshop manual (for instance) should not be posted on the forum. We don't want to get into trouble and we'd rather sell you a genuine hard copy through our Regalia shop anyway!
Because advice is honestly and freely given in this technical section, much of it will be amateur experienced based, so any information is given in good faith and is not guaranteed as correct.

Cylinder head compatibility
Does a cylinder head from a 1.4 engine fit a 1.8?
Re: Cylinder head compatibility
They are 1.6 and 1.8.
The Rimmer Bros Website shows that they have the same part number.

Re: Cylinder head compatibility
Interesting. I.never knew a 1.4 cylinder head would have the same sized vales and have the same compression
..I presume you will.be using the camshafts from your old cylinder head .

There is NO 1.4 MGF. It is 1.6 or 1.8.

Re: Cylinder head compatibility
Clearly not Geoff but there are plenty of 1.4 K series engines. Your meaning was not clear I am afraid
