Stroking a 1.3L?

Just wondering. I was told that the 1.6L is actually a stroked 1.3L. Is this true? If so, can you swap cranks? I would tend to disbelieve the whole stroked theory, as if it were true someone would have done it but now (and made a kit). Anyone got the poop on this?

I'll be able to tell you in about 2 weeks (I hope). I should be exposing the crank on a 1.6 in a few days. That is, if I can get those %#*& 10 screws out of the cam/rocker arm shaft off.

If I remember correctly, the 1.6 has a larger bore and stroke. And I seem to remember different journal sizes. But if they matched up lengthwise along the block there could be a possibility of stroking. Personally, I'm just going to rebuild the 1.6.

Glen, thanks for the email. I think you convinced me to get the OME springs.
