Actually, that may be correct. I don't really know for
sure. It certainly makes a liar out of somebody. Since
the motors have the same power rating, it makes liars
out of those that say the 80mm is better than the 60mm
by 5hp. Or it makes the factory a liar by saying the
rating was the same (I know the 1981 Sciroccos had the
60mm for sure). or it makes me a liar (hehe). My 1982
has the 80mm, I assumed that the PO had a fuel
distributor go bad. I knew that the head had been
rebuilt and that the car appeared to be  100% stock
when I bought it. So maybe the mechanic pulled an 80mm
from the parts bin when they did the work. i don't
know.

how's that for a definative answer?
