| 1641 Pistons are crap. They run hot because they are thinner. If you want more CC's pay the cahs and get you case and heads bored. I would suggest the 90.5 or machine fit 88mm P/C's. |

I agree. Do a search on the 1641 as it relates to bus owners and you will read several horror stories of failed motors. It works great in a beetle, but it overheats in a bus.
After reading about the failures I'm going to spend the money and build a 1776.

| Stick with stock or as posted move on up to thick wall machine fit 88's or 90.5's... 87's are notorious for failing at the cylinder to head sealing surface. |
