Subject:1.9 and 2.1 All that different in power?
From:Eric Caron
Date:Mon, 24 Apr 2017 20:37:14 -0400

Hi folks,

        I’d be interested in hearing from those that have had both a 1.9 and a 2.1 motor. 

A friend replaced his 1.9 last year with a rebuilt 2.1 and said it was stronger but not anything to write home about.  He seemed to think his 1.9 was close enough that I keep considering maybe just getting my 1.9 re built by one of our skilled list members. 

So, what real differences in power are there? 

And, are there any benefits to my earlier 1.9?
