I was talking with a friend of mine who was telling me that the pistons in my 1.7 are the same as the pistons in a type IV VW. Is this so?

Someone above said that the 2.0 vw bus is different. This is true I had a set of 94mm bus pistons and they had a deeper dish. I think busses also had smaller valves on the 2.0. I believe the idea is low compression, low flow puts the torque where you need it to push a bus full of junk up an icy German hill.
About the prices, I live in So.Cal. and every six weeks at the Pomona Swap I see lots of Bugs, Busses, Ghias, Things, Transporters, etc., etc... And almost all of them are priced higher than the 914's out there for sale. Cry'n ass shame if you ask me...but you didn't... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) -Mike D. |
