Curious if anyone could tell me if there is a difference between 1.8 and 1.7 cases if I were to use a 1.8 case on a 1.7 engine?

There are no real functional differences between the 914 crankcases. There are actual differences, such as the thicker webs under the cylinder spigots in the early cases. I think (but am not sure!) that the 1.8s had the thinner webs like the 2.0 cases had. Or possibly an intermediate between the early 1.7 cases and the later 2.0 ones.
Some of the VW cases did not have the 914 dipstick tube, nor the hole for it next to the oil chimney. They had the boss on the front-bottom (914 orientation) of the crankcase drilled for an oil filler funnel. Some did have the 914-style oil filler and dipstick, though. --DD |
