Your getting confused.
1.8rsi is 8 valve
1.8 16v is a valver. They are pretty even tbh.
Then there's the Williams 2.0 16v much different compared to the other two. And faster!
Have to disagree seeing as emerald have tested taper to none taper and found no difference.

Smashed the sump on a ramp which had a high lip on it. Didn't see it in the dark and it took the bottom end with it. No idea how as I turned it off within seconds of it occurring.
How the car sits. Smashed the engine out in rage.
The new engine. Lets see what I can make out of these two...
Drives lovely atm. Starts first time. Just if it stalls or is hot it wont start again so have to see why its doing this.
Picked up a ph1 interior on Saturday so today i decided to fit it .
Ages the car loads compared to the leathers but you cant beat a ph1 interior!
Gave the engine a little run in yesterday . Done about 75 miles, feels really tight still.
Took it up to about 6k revs now. Develops a slight misfire but felt pretty good .
Heres one of many stops where the car stalled and wouldn't start again due to the piston rings!
Nearly done. Just add gearbox oil, gearbox mount when it turns up, Air box and change inner cv gaiter on the drivershaft and its ready to drive .
Also fixed my drooping headlight
Before
After
Engine bay
Bumper on
Nearly there!!

Block at its current condition.
The crack/chip in the oil ring. Fail!
Also this spark plug sits much high that all the others but it feels tight on the socket. May need a tap going down it.
After Anglesey track day the engine blew up. Managed over 200k miles!!! So I was chuffed it made it that far tbh.
Head and block seperated
Drilled many sumps bolts off the c***s!
Hosed the swarf off so it doesn't fall into the engine.
Sump off
undoing tings!
Pistons!
oh...
Copied and pasted from another forum so all a bit out of date.
Two parcels came today. One being the hub of Bubs & Co and the other being the spark cover off paul.
Got them both fitted today .
And also found out the reason as to why my car would takes ages to heat up and loose water slowly.
Bedford done. Anglesey next!
Car performed lovely on track. The AD08's didn't burn off or anything. Perfect tyre if you wanna rock up to a track and drive back home with no tyre change.
Brakes were good as usual with the CL5 pads in :).
Changed the brakes back to normal.
Will give it a oil...
