Ben's suggestion of use the crank and pistons in the 1.8 is the most technically correct.



But Chets is more unique. And in my opinion no less technical.

Chet u getting the crank lightened?


????

running the pistons upside down is also unique. Shocked

Chet...

cos ur running lighter pistons, it would mean the crank webs could be made lighter. chances are they will be out of balance with respect to the piston/rod assembly (due to the now lighter pistons)

stan you don't need to worry about that, exhaust paste stuck on will do the job to balance it

Further stripping of the 3R shows it has no provisions for the oil sprays.

Gonna run with the 1.8 block
