What engine do i have?

[BrianFestiva]

Right I have something weird here.
I have a 95 WB Festiva also known as the Aspire as you know right
Here in Australia the WB's came with a 1.3l B3 yes?
Well my engine goes like a 1.5l but the head reads B301!
Isn't the B301 a 1.1l? I can't get a rocker gasket for it either, I had to modify a 1.3l B3 gasket. The lumps where the bolts go through are to wide and fat.
The basics is its a 8valve, the 1.5's here in Aus only came in 16valve.
The thing goes like hell and as of 6 months ago it started leaking oil into the cooland. Just a little, not enough to worry about because it goes out the overflow. I replaced the head gasket, the head "looked" fine.
But if it is indeed a 1.1l head on a 1.5l or even the 1.3l could that be the problem. Anyway I need some advice!
Thanx heaps!
Brian

B301 code is for a 1.3L B3 head.

I thought B303 was the code?

My bad it is B301.

Cool thanx, now I just need to find a new head. I can aparantly get a new head, valves cam and all for $750Aus, does that sound right. I'm prolly gonna go down to my u-pull-it and get a second hand one and get it checked.

Otherwise whats a good drop fit engine or engine and gearbox into a 95 Festiva? (The silver one in my signature)

[redlobster84]

what does $750 Aus convert to US dollars?

[91_festy_Gl]

If he had to modify the B3 gasket to work on his engine, wouldnt that make it a diffrent engine? Maybe im reading his post wrong.

I think maybe I have a different rocker cover altho it looks the same as my Girlfriends festys. I am just gonna get another rocker cover.
I don't really know what $750 would equate to in US prolly close to $550 maybe. There is a website to do that but yeah.
