Not really although 84 was a split model year and the first year of the water-cooled engine. In 86 they went to a slightly larger engine (2.1l vs 1.9l) with a different fuel injection system and improved routing for the coolant pipes and hoses. >> Actually all 1984s were 1.9L waterboxers. 1983 wat the split year.
