so technically, if u had a 1.4 16v sport like me and you got hold of a 1.6 bottom end then swapped them, u wud have a x16xe
(excuse my stupidity but what constitutes the bottom end?)

lol - when u said bottom end i had images of me taking a bottom end off a 1.6 and bolting it onto my 1.4
seems as though that makes up pretty much the whole of the engine with the exception of the head
oh well, i just keep sitting in lectures thinking, ohhhh, i wonder if i cud do that - but obviously here, i cant

Yes different bottom ends means completely different bore and stroke, so it makes much more sense to just swap the engine over.
