So I'm debating doing the top end on my 1.7 I recently dropped a valve on.

Looks like I can buy all items from AA performance. Can I just buy the 1.7/1.8 96mm P&C and the 1.8 AMC heads and call it a day? I'm getting confused on what I read about opening to 105mm bore on the 1.7 heads for 96mm Pistons. The AA website talks about modifying heads to 103mm bore. I guess I could also just use 2.0 heads, but my tin wouldn't match.

Sorry for being dumb...
