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 |

Stock 1.8L cylinders are 93mm diameter.
The 96mm P&Cs will bolt right up to a 1.8 motor with no further modifications. Supposedly there are zero problems running L-jet on that combination which is 1911cc. I would be tempted to run a wide-band O2 meter on it to make sure it doesn't lean out at high RPM and wide-open throttle settings, though. --DD |

Dave,
Do the 96mm pistons raise the compression ratio as well? According to info i found on the the web, it listed stock 1.8L compression ratio at 7.3:1. Any particular brand you would recommend?
