Hello,
I have an AD engine. This must be then a 1600. I've heard that you can make a 1600 out of an 1300 twin port, and a 1300 from a 1600. My question now is .... How can I know if the AD engine is a 1600, or a 1600 block with 1300 pistons. I know this sounds maybe silly, but the engine is a mess and looks like it has been put together with "junkparts".

By taking one cylinder head off and cleaning one piston top with solvent and possibly a piece of wood. (avoid scratching it). The piston size is stamped on top of the piston crown.
77mm = 1200 & 1300 (1200 if the crank is a 1200 crank, it has a 64mm throw as opposed to the 69 of the 1300 and larger engines) 83mm = 150085.5mm = 1600
Hope I got those right.
