Hi Guys .. I'm being told that it is better to rebuild a 1.8 to get more torque from the engine then rebuilding the 1.7 .. and even the 2.0 casing .. would love a 2.0 but they are getting harder to find .. Is this TRUE ... If I should look for a 1.8 then spend too much $$$ in my 1.7 .. What's your thoughts ... ???

Pour marvel mystery oil in each cylinder via the spark plug hole , leave plug out.
Put car in fifth, Tow car backwards then forward with another car. It will eventually give up. Then dump the oil, put in cheap oil ( you will change it a few times) Fire it up. Get it warm check compression. |

Listened to it run for the 1st time in 10 or so years last week. |
