My admittedly limited type 4 experience has been with 1.7s. Now, I am getting a 2.0.
Any acknowledged weak points in the 2.0? Any potential problem areas I need to stay on top of? |

I know the heads can tend to crack, esp. around the spark plugs... and they do tend to drop a valve seat more often than a 1.7...
