I pulled the 1.8 L motor in order to fix all the rust in hell hole which of course gave me the opportunity to fix a few things.
Pulled the heads as the lifter tubes were all leaking oil profusely. Heads/Valves: Looked to be in good shape with minimal carbon buildup. I was surprised. Pistons: Look OK I guess... not sure what they’re supposed to look like? They had light carbon buildup on the top of the Pistons but otherwise seems to be OK. Questions: Do I buy a new stock pistons and cylinders? if not should I at least change the rings or does it matter? Can I upgrade to a slightly larger piston without changing the heads and using the original FI? Should I get one of those modified type 1 oil pumps to replace the oem? I just want this to be a reliable weekend driver that I can drive through wine country and go coffee and cars. |
