It would be lower the compression, but IDK how much. Seems like I 'member the US 2.0 was 7.6/1 (that may have been the CA model) and I'm pretty sure it used dished pistons. The euro flat topped were 8.1/1 or thereabouts. This is all of the top of the ol' head, and I may be halucinating AGAIN, so don't quote me.
Conversly, as gas prices go up, lower compression would allow use of lower grade gas. Might be a good thing... |
