Saw a video of a 1911cc motor running and it sounded pretty good. It was carbureted and sounded "cammed." Makes me wonder what 96mm jugs do for a otherwise stock 1.7 engine.
Nothing wrong with 1.7 liters, but I really liked a 1835'ish cc type 1 put in a Beetle a few years ago. Torquey and very quick but reliable. What happens if I increase piston diameter on this short stroke engine? (I'll cross the MPS bridge when I get there.) 96mm by 66mm sounds weird, I'm trying to imagine how it would feel. Maybe even not worth doing? Don't think the valve seats were ever replaced on this engine so I'll have to send the heads out regardless. Ideally, I would increase stroke and displacement, but changing the cam, rods and crankshaft + everything else sounds like more than I'm willing to spend. |
