see i'd disagree, if your on about power then dont have any expectations but for reliability the 1.2 16v i had in a envoy was spot on
some of the engine mounts are the same as 1.0l aswell i think

the 1.0s as reliable as the 1.2 and there no dramatic increase in power of fuel economy so id say its pointless doing a conversion unless going to the 1400 or 1800 engines

if you plan on keeping the car then pay for the headgasket to be done imo.

you could buy a 2nd hand engine but theres no guarantee the HG on that wont go in a weeks time

I would put another 1.0 in there as the looms are different to the 1.2's i believe so not really worth the hassle based on the gains imo.
