I have no experience with the GoWesty kits but in general just remember when you rebuild with more displacement than original, there's generally a trade-off somewhere, usually it's shorter life until the next rebuild. Maybe just because with the extra power you're now driving more aggressively, wearing the clutch and transmission, etc. But again, that's just a general rule to consider. Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
