I have the opportunity to buy a set of 94mm P&C's , NOS from the local VW dealer... perhaps for as low as $50 ...
Pistons are "Kolbenschild", 94 mm, Dished top, (part no. 039)
Since I am about to convert to carbs, i was thinking about putting these on my '75 1.8 (EC code) engine.
Are they compatible with the 1.8 Block and Heads ?
I presume Dished means less compression.
But will that still be an improvement over the stock 1.8's?
I will be running Weber 40 IDFs, with standard Camshaft...
TIA

Sence they are 94's I am going to assume there for a 2.0 bus,
the crank has a longer stroke than the 1.8, soooo the pistons won't work with the 1.8 crank. Get a 2.0 crank and rods and change your cam while your in there. Short answer.
