Re: Engine code question

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

Yeah, there are different 1.8's. I'm not sure of the exact codes (execpt
JH) but the later 1.8's have hydraulic lifters(bad), and some have smaller
valves(worse).

The JH is the best engine for dropping in our old 'roccos IMHO. EASY swap,
it's got solid lifters for better revvablility, and the biggest valves
available, 40mm intake x 33 exhaust. Mine also has air shrouded injectors,
which supposedly helps mileage. We'll see.
