hey all...

first a question ..
are all Tiico's 2.0 liters  ?   I don't know much about 'em , but thought
they are.

A 91 GL Vanagon showed up here..with Tiico engine kit .
you can look right down the distrubutor hole and eyeball the # 4 crank
journal ..
Connecting rod is nowhere in site.  How cute.

I just about have my hands on an 85 jetta 1.8      8 valve Digifant.
The van's previous might-become-the-new owner bought the 91 GL already
converted and was told it was a Tiico 1.8.
Does that make any sense ?
Will all the Tiico stuff like intake manifold swap over to the 1.8 in the
normal manner ?
I imagine so ..but someone may have details I could know about in advance.

and ..besides that 85 1.8 engine,
and besides my  'other 16V' ...... 87 jetta 16V 1.8 CIS-E engine ...
I now am getting a 92 2.0 liter 16V ......
The fuel distributor is missing for that one ..
I plan to run it on waterboxer Digifant.   ( or the 1.8 16V CIS-E ..if it
wants to coopeate. )
That might make one sweet engine in my 87 Wolfsburg.
which is already a fine driving machine with a measly old 1.9 waterpuker
running on Digifant.

what fun !
