Now Engine Building
It's a kind of "bird in the hand" thing. Plus, I really don't want a 16v in
this car, at least not right now. Maybe later in the GTi.
So, after some more research, I guess the bigger issue is the ratio between
the rod length and diameter of the stroke.
I am having a hard time finding this kind of technical info for assorted
engines- gas and diesel- any ideas on where to look?
Thanks again guys for all the help
Jeff
