Know this from personal experience.

Plus point is that you can stick any B 1.4 8v head on, dont have to be SRi

As in if the valves come into contact with the pistons if the timing gets fucked up.

If a 2.0 8v goes for example, the valve clearance is so big that it can spin however it wants and you won't bend anything. That's what I've been told anyway.

Stick a belt on it and turn it by hand, definetely worth finding out if it's fucked before stripping it.
