I am going to install new pistons/cylinders,and refresh the heads.
Quick question. I am keeping the fuel injection on my 1.8L. So should I keep the stock 93 MM cylinders,or go to a 96MM aluminum for added cooling. If I go to the 96MM will I run into drive ability problems??. http://aapistons.com/products/vw-porsche-9...der-kit-914-bus. My compression went from 90 PSI hot motor throttle open to 150 PSI with a few drops of oil. Can I do this cylinders myself???. Thanks for any advice or suggestions. |

I dont want to go to a 2056,But thanks Mark.
And I dont want to split the case if at all possible. I just want to get my compression back. Ill pull the motor and check the rings First. But: I am wondering if buying a set of piston and cylinders if this would be the easiest for me to do,rather than taking it in and getting honed,re-ringed etc. I will continue to read up on build threads,but I am moving next month and want to keep down time to the minimum. Thanks again for suggestions. |
