FWIW, the largest practical overbore for a 1.8 block is 84mm. This yields 1938cc.

I would bet it is stroked too, if it is indeed a true 2 liter motor.

What is the engine code on the Tiico blocks?

TIICO used a 1.8 block, bored out to 2.0 and a 2.0 head. Can't tell you anything about the gutz ... crank, rods, pistons. I suspect this thread has just about reached its Jim-Arnot-limit though. ;) bob
