You can get modified camshafts and pistons and things if you look hard enough, but its not really worth spending the money on such a small engine. You'd be better off spending the money you would budget for mods, on a transplant to a larger engine, as in a 1600 CVH, or even take the plunge and get a Zetec :)

The HCS is quite restrictive. It was designed that way for economy and cost reasons, although it was based on the Kent Crossflow, which was an altogether superior engine.

To be honest, any engine work other than routine servicing will be a waste of money. Drop a CVH in if you want to tinker under the bonnet.
