The case would not need to be cut, just the heads.
The 96es that fit in 1.7 heads are very thin at the top (2mm, I think) and don't tend to last that well. But they are quite useable for a while! --DD |

But they are quite useable for a while! --DD Thanks Dave, So I need to expect that at some point I will need to have some engine work. Does the engine grenade or will that case be reusable? Just replace the heads? I would think that the matching number engine would make it more a desirable car, but that may me already negated because of the work already done to it. I personally like the idea of more performance than the base 1.7 so for me I like it but I don’t know enough yet. |
