90.5's or 94's?

I dont think there is one person who said 94s dont work great on the street or track. Ive been using them since the 80s and will continue to use them for specific uses.

To the OP to keep your options open I would use a 94 cut down to fit a 90.5 spigot to keep as much strength in the case as possible. At 60K miles pull the heads for a valve job and new springs and check the cylinders for out of round. If they check out re ring and enjoy. If not you can put some 92 thick walls or 90.5s if you feel the need to experiment.

If you want to give your 94s the best chance possible for survival make sure to run a CHT gauge so to avoid overheating if possible.

Good luck and have fun!!

How about 94 Nickies, would that solve all of the heat and warping problems.
Yes I know they are very expensive...

I'm surprised that noone has thought that back in the day when people were first getting up to 94's in bore that the deck had to be huge and also semi hemi'd to get CR down, causing more heat to be in the cylinder than todays tight deck engines where more work has gone into understanding an engines thermal characteristics.

I say run SSquishies and 94's for everyone!!! Dancing

Ah, but you argued that science and fact are all "magic" and if you start accepting fact you would have to face that your claims are all hokum. The rest of the automotive engineering world would consider constant 260F oil temps indicative of a fault.

I'll take your word on your small penis, though.

You didn't read much of the thread, did you minime?

The OP asked why some people felt one way or another about the 94s and it was answered without prejudice on the first page, then VWFool started carrying on about how any opinion or fact different to what he believes is "magic and superstition." The irony is he was upset by statements much milder that yours. Obviously a kid who thinks that because he chose to build a 1915 it has to be better than anything anyone else has done, so yeah, it has been fun baiting this troll. I don't see him growing up in the near future, so we can keep this going for years.

No hantavirus, I didn't and I don't need to. I'm merely pointing out the fact that this thread has devolved into cylinder bashing, and no longer has anything whatsoever to do with the original topic. Just as well, OP hasn't been back since so we've effectively scared him off. Rolling Eyes

Only the usual suspects. Like I said, the question was answered pretty quick, but I don't think the OP came back to even look, then someone got anal about 4 digit accuracy and it devolved from there. I must admit I had a bit of fun poking at the cave-dweller...

BTW - a quokka is a marsupial, so won't be affected by hantavirus.

It often stands on two legs, as it is smarter than the average tourist and knows it can cajole them into feeding it, which is much easier than crawling around on the ground looking for berries.

I just read all the posts on this forum .this was the biggest pissing contest I have ever read on samba . No one won every one was right and the only thing that got done was who could give the best put downs about what others had to say About 94 s .oh yes the biggest thing was it's not a1916 it's a 1915 and most of this forum was about who's ego was the biggest .what a big waist of time reading this forum . my god you all acted like 7 graders on a play ground. sambas about helping each other out with info .not my pee pee is bigger than your pee pee spencerfvee quote="Quokka42"]It often stands on two legs, as it is smarter than the average tourist and knows it can cajole them into feeding it, which is much easier than crawling around on the ground looking for berries.[/quote]

ALL internet forums are the same. It could be a nice, wealth of info, but instead is usually run by a gang of 'regulars' who beat on people who's ideas are not the same, or don't have sufficient knowledge. Then it's only a matter of time before it devolves into penises and name-calling. I'm glad I have real sources to get my info. Cool
