Certainly if it is installed and running well in a vehicle it is worth maintaining, and it's a good engine. I just meant that for someone looking to upgrade to a super engine, this really was not a worthwhile route to start down, simply because there are SO MANY parts that would have to be replaced to get it up to 2.0L. If you're just carrying this around thinking that it would make a good upgrade someday, then my take on this is that you could upgrade your 1600 to 1700 or so for about the same money and a lot less hassle. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
