Lost in the FI B20 specs... 140-160

Hi,

There was a post on this board lately that provided this info:

>Cylinder head thicknesses are as follows. Numbers following that are

>std head gasket thicknesses, prior to installation.

>B20A 86.7 mm 3.413" 1.4mm 0.055"

>B20B 86.2 mm 3.394" 0.8mm 0.031"

>B20E 84.9 mm 3.343" 0.8mm 0.031"

>B20F 87.0 mm 3.425" 1.2mm 0.047"

I want to rebuild a FI B20 for my amazon & got a K-Jetted B20 out of a 144. I the read that the D-jetted had more HP (K-Jet B20F have even less tha the B20B...). So I thought my K-Jet was a B20F & his bhp would't satisfy me. Then, following the pos, I measured the head thikness & found 84.9 mm, like for a B20 E (see above...). So is my engine a K-jetted B20E with the same power than a D-jetted B20E, or is it a B20F? I'm located in Europe, so I came to think that only the US market (according to www.volvoworld.com) was provided B20F's and that all the FI engines in europe were B20 E with high compression ration (and HP...), either with the K or D-Jet.

So if I want high HP, should I definitely look for a D-jetted B20 or can I stick to my european K-jetted one?

Bonus question: will aK-jet systemn fit into an amazon?

Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
