1. Flycut the 1.7L heads to accept the 1.8L BB kit. or even better
2. Buy some 1.8L heads which have bigger valves and use the 1.8L kit.
OTTOMH thw 1.7L heads have 39.3mm intake and 33mm exhaust while the
1.8L have 41mm int and 34 exh.
The 914 2.0L have 42mm int and 36mm exh.
and the 2.0L bus heads have 37.?mm int and <33mm exh (that is one reason they suck).
