Ok, my motor has a burned/stuck/fucked up valve. The vehicle has nearly no miles after the incident happend (one of pistons stop firing) If I swap heads, will my problem be solved? I dont have the cash for the proper machine work to fix them, but, I see 1.7-2.0 heads for sale super cheap. I have found a couple sets for less than 200 bucks rebuilt. Also, I have a 1.7, and from what I understand, the 1.8 and 2.0 parts are interchangeable. So my question is, can I put on the 2.0 heads easily? What parts would be needed, assuming I have all the studs and mounting hardware from my original 1.7? Is there any chance that it is just a bolt on affair?
