Hello all. First time posting here. I figured I'd share and hope to get some advice on a project engine that I'm rebuilding. I got my hands on a '74 1.8 engine for a project car.
I have torn the engine all apart and gave it to the machine shop. I stopped in to see how everything is going with it. WOW.... it looks great. seeing the heads all bead blasted and the case cooked out. He is inspecting everything for me. I have a list of parts that I need. P&C set; cam/gear/lifters; oil pump. I called the machine shop and told them to go ahead and do the heads. I plan to have it back near the end of April. The list goes on. I want to keep it stock but a little mild/wild on the cam. I plan to put 44 to 48 webers on it. I was told to stay away from the 96mm p&c set and stick to the 94mm. I'm looking for any advice for a rebuild. The engine code is EC026590. The codes says something about not being a standard 1.8. I'm really not understanding it. Please help me. I'll try to attach some pics. |
