I thought 1641 was regarded as still being strong...
I've got a 1641 in a bug and its done 46000 miles, still good. |

the walls of the 1641 are thinner than standard 1600 ones... so don't fang the engine!

No probs with 1640cc, fang all you like. the 1680cc kit was the BIG problem.
In saying this, you already have balanced 1600 p&B so keep them.
I think you will have more probs with a 12lb flywheel on a 1600, you will loose torque.
Make sure you use a high volume oil pump.
