I was considering doing a head job and changing the pistons and cylinders on my 1.8 liter while I have it out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
What are the oem cylinders? 70 mm? I have seen people peddling "94mm" I am not looking at doing dual carbs right now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Can I go larger and still use the stock L jetronic Fuel Injection system that I have kept well maintained over the years? |

Hi
Got some good advice here, Big bore with fresh heads is a nice combo, without droppin lots of $$$. Pay special attention to the valve geometry/ heights, this is so important after the cyl have been replaced. Nothing worse then doin it twice. Good luck with it Louis, Type 4s need a lot of work to keep the heads on the motor stock, bumping the compression is always a good HP thing, bad head thing. Higher compression is usually saved for the bigger $$$ rebiulds. Later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |
