Scott, I got the following, from
http://www.foreignautosupply.com/Tiico_Owners_Page.html

Engine Details:  The Tiico is a 2.0L and not a 1.8L.  The block is of a 1.8L
but the Crank, piston rod, and piston exchange provide the displacement to
increase to 2.0L.  The purpose of this is to have a block that is 2cm lower
so everything fits under the engine lid.
