[TECH] Need Spec on 1.7L Engine

[jdbubb at ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

I'm pretty sure the 1.7 and 1.6 rods are the same.
If that is true then using the 1.6 pistons with the 1.7 crank will result in the pistons sticking
out the top of the block 3.2mm.
The longer stroke of the 1.7 is accomodated by moving the piston pin higher in the piston, so the
1.6 pistons won't work.
