RE: 2.0 16V vs 8V pistons

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

umm, don't think it's just the pistons that are different. 

I'm not sure, but here's my logic.

1. Known fact. A 1.8l 16v head will not fit on a 1.8l 8v block. 
Apparently there is some mismatch in oil and/or water passages. 

2. The 1.8l 16v head bolts right up to the 9A block

3. The 1.8l 8v head bolts right up to the ABA block

logic would indicate that there are differences beyond the pistons 
between the 9A and the ABA block.
