You'll probably get a bunch of messages like this, but if you're going for bulletproof reliability (and longevity), don't get drop-in oversized cylinders, especially 88s! They have much thinner cylinder walls and can't dissipate heat as well. I'm not an expert about these motors, but you are much better off staying 1600 (add performance with cam/rockers/porting/carbs), going 1776 (open up for 90.5mm), or using the type 4 engine. On a similar note, you can bump a 1.7 to a 1.8 using stock parts, which is just as easy as the 88mm upgrade on a T1/T3 but a lot safer since it was factory. __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
