About 10 years ago my stock '75 1.8L L-Jet was rebuilt. A 2L crank was installed along with 94mm pistons.
Can runs good, slows down quite a bit on hills. My mechanic has suggested replacing the cylinders/Pistons with 96mm. The engine would be kept FI with the L-Jet Does this make sense and would other mods be required ? |

In my opinion, like a computer, it's possible that it seems slower....
I would suggest you do two things, both are in your quest to solve the problem, but will provide you with a fun summer. First, run some simple water through the engin while it's running. Use the 1/8 vacuum advance hose for the distributor while its warmed up Slowly run about a liter of water though the engine, outdoors. It will steam clean th Carbon out, so there will be lots of smoke... Then give it a tune up. Second, Find a core motor and build a 2270 to get more power as you want. Mark could do it, or EMW could do it...or FAT... Rich |
