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. |

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. I remember that; interestingly that was the only time that occurred. The recent drive to Flagstaff was ping-free and there was similiar opportunities. I do have the Mallory Uni Lite installed and a pair of 1.8 heads coming after Fat Performance resurfaces them and cleans them up Lots of terrific suggestions....really appreciate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
