Hi All,
I plan to rebuild the 1.8L in my '75 project. The engine is original and complete with the L-jet fuel injection. I want to keep the original L-Jet Fuel Injection and was wondering what are good P&C sets for this engine if I don't want to change the fuel injection system? Reliability is my highest priority for the rebuild. The PET catalog has 022198075A listed as the part number for 1.8L, but it also has this part number listed for the 2.0, so I'm not sure if it's correct. Is Mahle the OEM vendor for these engines? Thanks in Advance, Dennis |

L-Jet is capable of running a larger engine. I would put in 96mm pistons and cylinders (for 66mm stroke).
If you need to rebuild to the stock 1.8, the new P&C sets from Mahle can be a bit hit or miss in terms of quality control (from what I've heard). I've never used OEM P&C because most people want the extra power from 96s. |

Thanks - good to know about new Mahle.
Are the stock 1.8L Pistons 93mm? I'm interpreting your statement as I can run 96mm pistons keeping the 1.8 stock crank, rods, and L-Jet. Is that correct? Do I need to mod the case to fit 96mm pistons? L-Jet is capable of running a larger engine. I would put in 96mm pistons and cylinders (for 66mm stroke). Thanks for the help.
