good stuff.

so your doing a 1.8 8V bottom end? should be impressive.

i see how a 1.8 8V cam helps as it has longer durations. But how does having a bigger bottom end help?

sorry if i sound dumb just one of them things i never understood  :sick:

a capacity increase will raise your torque levels which is basically accelerating force. so you will go faster.

the saying goes

'there aint no replacement for displacement'

im not changing the bottom end, im just putting a GTI head on, singh it will be like yours but with bigger valves,

rubjonny, yeah i looked at that diagram you gave me and made one and it just felt really scetchy, like it might pop out or something so i thought ill just buy the tool and share it, at least it will take away a little of the stress i might suffer when doing the job

And the usual answer to that age old saying is "Yes there is! Boost!"

a capacity increase will raise your torque levels which is basically accelerating force. so you will go faster.
