Ahh, ok, so would there be any point getting it dynoed? Or would there be any other way to find out more about it without pulling it apart? Considering some of the other changes the previous owner made, I suspect the engine itself isn't completely stock - I mean, who would go to the trouble of swapping a 1.6L for a 2.0L, converting the transmission to a short shift, running extractors and a decent exhaust, etc. without getting at least some head work done too?

I'm hoping they have done a bit of head work - saves me having to get it done, lol!
