Engine compatibility 900 1991

What's possible, and it's for sale.

Yes you bent valves as others have said. No, taking the head off you still may not be able to tell which are bent. But a quick spin in a valve grinder will show it, so make friends with someone in a machine shop. My take;
1. remove head, fix/change valves, clean up seats, replace head gasket, drive car.
2. get a used motor and swap it in
3. swap to V-6 or V-8
4. make real power with an 8 valve. Your car had 160 hp approx IIRC; it is relatively easy to make over 200 reliably, and there are quite a few DD's with over 300 whp. Some... unbelievable. One 940 in WA has 502 whp and is a DD. But that guy is a true genius.
