Talked to mechanic today about getting the 1.7 replaced. Just curious as to what you all think of this...
Anyways, he says they can assemble and install a 1.8 for me. I asked him about at least getting a 2 liter, and he said it would make no difference in going to a 2.0 bore because the heads would be the same as the 1.8. ? Is this true? He stated it would all come out to be around $3400. Is this decent? I've wanted to get something with a little more power, so I mentioned a 2056. He says he thinks it would greatly shorten the life of the engine. What exactly is done to bring the engine up to 2056cc? I know you all are much more experienced in this...I know little to nothing. guide me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) What do you all think? |

Camshaft. The stick with bumps along it that tells the valves when to open, how far to open, when to close, and how fast to do all of that. It's waaaaay down in the middle of the engine, so you have to tear the whole engine apart to replace it. But you have to do that to replace the crankshaft with the one that gives you a 71mm stroke measurement anyway, so it's almost free.
I don't know what's included with Jake's kits. But I'd be surprised if it wasn't all of the parts and sealants you need to assemble an engine--assuming you still keep all the fasteners and engine tin and such from the old engine. You'll have to find carbs for it (yow, 34s?) and supply the exhaust too... --DD |
