I am making the displacement jump from a 1700cc to a 1911cc and need to open up the heads for 96mm pistons. Any of the Houston area boys have shop recommendations? Any idea on the market price for such work?

I at first felt, when planning out my rebuild, that having the 1.7 heads didnt matter...but when you look at them you notice taht the valve sizes are smaller than the 2.0 heads and the spark plug angles are different. I believe the 1.8 heads have bigger valves to let the engine "breathe" easier, but another big ticket is the optimized spark plug location--somewhat closer to 50˚ rather than closer to like 90˚...i think between those two things one would realize the strengths of teh 2.0 cyl head (compared to the 1.7 cyl head)
Otherwise I could just slap in my 2.0 bus heads and get 125HP or something, which *AINT* gonna happen, due to teh valve sizes and the plug angles. b |
