Hey guys, I'm a new 914 owner and have been a 914 "wanter" for some time. I bought a car that I knew needed engine work but it had a great body!
So now I am looking at the engine work and I am thinking up upgrading my EV case 1.8L engine to a 2.0. I've never worked on a air cooled motor before and from what I gather this conversion is pretty straight forward. However, having said that I'm not convinced that it's as easy as just buying larger pistons and cylinders. Can someone please spell out for me all the parts that are different from a 1.8 to a 2.0L engine if there isn't too much? I'd really appreciate it! I did search the forum and didn't find any topic covering this. -JR- |

Would anyone know if you can put the 2L pistons on 1.8L rods? I've heard the 2L rods are different, but I'm not sure if it's just the length or if it's also the bearing surfaces too. I just want to give my old 1.8 a little more of a kick without spending a bundle as I start my 6cyl project in about a year.
Thanks! |
