i pulled apart my "siezed" 1600tp yesturday and found a conrod sticking out the top of the crank case so i pulled everything apart down to the crank and found that 2 pistons are cracked, 2 cylinders are cracked and one conrod is samashed!! instead of replaing all this with stocko parts i concidered a big bore kit.. what exactly does a big bore kit contain?? and i was told that the biggest i could go without machinig is 1680cc is this right??? can someone give me a bit of info on the topic i.e how to fit, price, advantages disadvantages,

92mm pistons arent the best choice

1835 are shit for a reason
they are just 1776 with thinner walls for more capacity
so they the warp and leak compression and run hot
ask anyone who actually knows about engines thats had one
their ok in something light like a buggy that itsnt working real hard but not the best choice for beetle/kombi/type3

if ur starting from scratch just go 94mm u will thank urself when ur engine still has perfect compression after 30,000kms
