Subject:Parts Needed for Rebuild-1.9l or 2.1l?
From:Steve W
Date:Wed, 24 Sep 2003 06:44:10 -0700

Hello,
A gentleman recently asked how to tell a 1.9l
from a 2.1l by looking and I have a similar need.
 I have my engine out and all apart but I can't
fine anything in my factory manual that says for
certian what is different in them.  The van is a
1983.5 but the engine has been swapped.  My
questions are:

1. What is the difference that makes up the extra
0.2l? (Crank? bore? stroke? combination?)

2. I need a complete rebuild gasket kit for it,
are they the same?  Vendors, please quote me a
price.

3. To clean the block halves and head I should
send them out to be cleaned at a machine shop
shouldn't I?  This is my first complete rebuild
but I'm pretty good with a wrench.  ;)

Thanks,
Steve
