Is it possible to transplant a 1.8 or 2.0 crank in a 1.6 engine to get the higher cc?
I read somewhere that installing a 2.0 crank in 1.6 is possible, however the block is shorter and the pistons come out of the block by 6mm. Is it possible to use a copper gasket to compensate for the height difference?
The reason i'm asking is because living in Cyprus like i do, where all mods are almost prohibided, you cannot easily put a 2.0 engine in a 1.6, so an easy way to do it would be to change all the internals of the 1.6 so no one would know you have a 2.0!
