Pistons

[jayw]

Not 16v relevent due to obvious differences but:

Do the the 1600cc pistons fit the 1900cc 8v engine, can't remember the bore/stroke on either & my Haynes is locked in the garage and the missus has the keys! 74mm/74mm rings a bell?

Been offered a set of 1600cc low comp pistons for my 4x4 that would come in handy for future plans.

Cheers, Jay.

75x77 is in my head for some reason. Might be a Tu though

And 83x77.....its one of those two.

83x73mm for the 1.6 and 83x88mm for the 1.9 and the pistons are different as the 1.9 pistons have dished crowns. Courtesy of Mr Haynes.

Hope that helps

Hi Vanny,

Thats soooo not fair, two 16v's AND a 4x4

wanted to 16v it but apparently it would be too much to make it reliable.

so it's still in bits waiting for god.

the only thing thats puts me off having a 4x4 is the weak transfer box but on the other hand were not doing to bad either lol 2 bx 16v,s and a gti 2wd
