Okay, honest opinion, and experience-
Talking about carb'd engines: Is an upgrade from a carb'd good running 1.8L to a Carb'd 2.0L REALLY worth it? Has anyone done it an said "WOW world of difference!! This RULES!!" Or is it just another step in futility? (It's NEVER as fast as it could be...) I can't afford a /6 and I can't afford a Jaby 2270, my car runs great, so is a well balanced well cammed, 2.0L worth the trouble? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) TIA Bob O |

Psssh...of ALL the people to respond....you think I'm gonna listen to YOU TWO!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Where are the normal poor people? I gotta drive the car everyday for a long time to come-whilest I build the 'other engine', and I hafta make the wife think it happened for free. I was hoping to stay away from machine shops except for the heads and balancing, and away from "NEW" expensive parts- except the cam/lifters. Like everyone I want the most for the least. So, I probably cant afford ceramic lifters..I would however spend a few bucks to have Jake break the cam/lifters in... So there. Bob O |
