If you bored out a 1.2, you would prob only be able to increase by 100cc at most wouldn't you?

i reckon you should be able to take the 1.2 out to a 1.6. You'd then obviously need to sort the head and fueling out.

If you can rebuild an engine surely you can swap it?

dunno about 1.6 actually, the stroke is probably different.
