Will a 1.3 rocker cover fit a 1.6?

Post by Jordi » Sat Jun 01, 2013 5:17 pm

My 1.6 rocker cover is a bit manky. Will a 1.3 cover fit straight on?

my guess is you might be able to because you can put the 1.6 head on a 1.3 block etc but i guess that means nothing! try it its only 4 bolts!

I can't see Suzuki making more than one Rocker cover design for the SOHC 4-cyl G-family engine. Saves on moulds
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

They are different shapes.

I don't wanna peel the 1.6 cover off before i know as i haven't got a spare rocker cover gasket.

If i know it'll fit i'll get a gasket and then swap them. If it won't fit i'll just wire brush it down and try the VHT paint again as i like to waste money.

Cheers Scottie. I'll get a rocker gasket and give it a go.
