Nice double post.

what is wrong, state the bad part
block bad.
or head bad
or both?
the head can be fixed in most cases or exchanged,(just did one)
the block is different.
the 8v has notched pistons 2 valves
the 16v ha notched pistons for 4 valves each..
big difference that, as are all manifold mounts radically different.

No. but./....... (8v and 16v you mean i guess)
the "A" is single point injected, the B is MPI. 4 injectors.
ill guess long block and no manifolds changes
block and head only. answer.

the A TBI car will like the B engine block but the weaker TBI ECU will not like the engine air flows at all. it's tuned heavy for TBI.

the B car MPI, will run great with the 8v engine, but lack 15hp.
the A engine has the wrong head, for you car.
as are the pistons fly cut different.

    the head on the 8v will not fit your 16v manifolds, as a start. (and lots more wont work)

    are you talking a whole engine on pallet or just a long block swap, do say what parts are in the Attempt.

    A/B engines run from 92-95 in USA. and up to 2001 or more outside usa. there are no G16a after 1995, (epa banned here)

Is there a timing belt and performance difference on the 1.6L 16V engine type ? i was told that there's something to do with E/I position? sidekick/vitara 1994 lwb 4 doors if it matters.

no, the E and marks are for 2 engines.
E mark for G16B (16valve MPI engine)
I and E marke are for the twin cam engine, (see link for deeper facts)
see?
if you use the wrong marks, the engine will not run
and compression falls by 1/2 from 180 psi to 90 or less.

the G16A is different 8v head, yours is the 95HP, 16valve head.

covers all ways to do it right and wrong.

Can a 95 Suzuki esteem engine work with 89 Suzuki sidekick engine parts like the Pistons, rod bearing , and pin

no at all.
the 89 sidekick has a G16A engine
the esteem uses a J18 or G16B engine.

the G16A parts match G16A parts.
the B engines, have special pistons, fly cut for valve clearance.
mixing A and B parts will not work.
A = 8valve
B = 16valve
the J18 is 1.8L and is twin cam and totally different engine.

why not find a good short block? and build from there?
in the USA (car is rare )but all G16 blocks can befound
from 1989 to 1998, a 10 year span on trackers and sidekicks.
and esteems.
next time post displacements, so we can know what is there.

How to replace suzuki g16b head on g16a block

the mounts are the same.
Is this a EFI car or CARB , you never said.
IF EFI"
but your 8v ECU will never run any 16v HEAD
the G16B ,means 16v in non USA countries, (only clue yet)
and has a unique ECU, and all harness in dash and motor.
the head is unique, 8 more valves, and 4 injectors not 1.
and has unique intake and exhaust header.
the 16v block has unique pistons with 4 cuts on top. 8v blocks
dont work with 8v heads and reverse. short of fly cutting.

the block casings are the same. and crank, and bearings.

no year stated or county but in Europe they have up to 8 engine types and many with carbs up until 2001 or even later..

the old mounts bolt to the block perfect due to blocks is same.

Hi could some one tell me how to change the fuel pump and fuel filter on my 1991 Suzuki vitara it's the g16b engine need to fix ASAP thanks

Most cars today have the pump in the fuel tank so it will need to be droped to get the fuel pump in and out.As far as the filter if it has one in the tank it may not have another one. If it does you will find it when under the car doing the pump.Some are located on the fram rail.
