RE: [T3] suggestions for building a type 3 engine


The 90.5 mm pistons and barrels are a good choice
as thier wall thickness is the same as stock 1600cc
liners. The 92's are too thin. A compression anywhere
between 7:1 and 8:1 is a good idea to keep the temp
down on these engines. An engle 110 cam, from what
i've been told, is a good all-around cam for 
performance usage. The 120 may be a bit wild...depends
on your tastes. Like someone said before, use good
quality heads. The thing to watch with these heads is
the number of cooling fins on the head. The real
hi-po heads have 6 cooling fins versus the stock head's
8. Some aftermarket performance heads have the 8 fins.
These are the ones you want for best reliability.
