If I don't fit any gasket at the top of the cylinders (which is what every expert suggests) will this affect the type/thickness of shim used at the bottom or is the increase in compression so marginal that standard shims can be used?
This is for a all standard 1,7 D-jet engine rebuild. /Lars |

QUOTE You have to determine what compression ratio you want then you need to measure your deck height. Thanks guys, I will go for standard performance and aim for getting close to the standard compression ratio (within some margin). I dont know how thick the head gasket is and if removing it will be a noticeable increase? Someone may have done this calculation before for an all standard 1,7 80Hp engine ... QUOTE "Every expert suggests"? What, I'm no expert, despite my 38 years of T4 engine building? I use them and I've never had a problem. If you choose not to use them, plan on calculating the CR and shimming accordingly (we do that with the gaskets, because you need to do it)> You'll need a way to accurately measure the combustion chamber volume and a way to measure the piston deck height. The Cap'n Sorry Cap'n, I fully respect your opinion, havent noticed any different opinions on this until now (haven't read the treads carefully enough Im afraid). It has been written several times that VW/Porsche issued a service message about this but can not find the original posted anywhere... Anyhow, someone may already have done the combustion chamber measurements and calculation for a all standard 1,7 80Hp setup? /Lars S o |
