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 ? |

Hi Jim, I thought when I drove your car last year at the WCR it pinged a bit while going up a few of the hills.
No input on a motor build, doing one right now so I'll keep an eye on what others suggest. |
