BTW, the 1.7-version 96mm cylinders are very thin, and not as reliable as the ones for the 1.8 or 2.0 engines.
Funny you should say that Dave, Ive had mine for about 15 years and beat the !@#$ out of them.

Every rebuild I raised the compression, hotter cam, etc....last was 10.5:1, 86a webcam, 40mm Dells, etc...list goes on. Mechanic said that motor would maybe last a year...that was 5 years ago

Never failed yet, just honed a few times.

Maybe I got the good ones, which P/C's are you refering to?
