MIke, one of Jakes radio shows talks all about Cyl. heads.
In his opinion, the 1.8l heads in stock configure are the best flowing and most reliable for making up to 125hp on a budget. Healso has a show that talks about 125hp budget rebuilds for around $1500. If you are looking for added HP in stock configuration this seems the way to go. You can use you 1.7l crank and rods, get a set of 1.8l heads, cyl., and pist., and there you are. From what I am learning,the reliability factor in these motors are the top end and making sure everything is correct. The bottom ends are real strong Just my .02 Keith |
