engine Q's 2.0 guts in 1.8 block?

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

I think the 1.8 crankcase is tighter than the 2.0 and the insides of the crankcase walls need to be
clearanced for the rod bolts to clear.
At least I remember a bunch of pictures from TT where somebody's running a 1" stone up and down the
inside of the walls where the rod bolts would swing by.
Dunno about the intermediate shaft though.
