I have a 1974 2.0 with Reman Heads that are getting cc'd. Upon futher investigation it turns out I have VW Bus Pistons. I would like to put New Stock 914 Pistons in to replace these. I understand compresion math and deck hieght, shimming etc.. But would like to know what do I need to do Mechanically to do the swap without causing me more problems than I started with.. Car has run really well and is only getting reman heads because of a broken chunk with helicoil attached came off with exhaust hanging stud... Suposedley the car engine was rebuilt 8000 miles ago but i do not know the extent nor do I beleive anything I was told when I bought the car anymore though I do not think I was lied too just a differ of what is restored and what is rebuilt.. I would like to get away with the minumum right now and crack the case later when I am more edjucated and know better what I want out of my engine.. Stock is fine with me now and may stay that way but would hate to rebuild a car that runs well ..spend a lot more money getting it stock rebuilt only next year to decided i want more power or torque..
What is the respectable safe minumum to a Piston Swap like this.. |
