Unless you find someone who was totally anal about fixing the car with correct
parts, you will find aluminum heads where the iron heads should be. It's no
problem because the 1600 is still very reliable with either head! Just watch
the coolant levels and don't let the car overheat (easier said than done!)
Good luck!!
