Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dean" data-source="post: 219043" data-attributes="member: 9893">My bug is currently running a 1600 tp motor.  It was originally a 1300 but i put new mahle barrells and pistons on it and used 1600 heads.  No cracks in them when engine was built.The spec1600 tp with top end rebuild 9k miles ago34 pict 3 carbGenerator is just over a year old, from gsf009 distributorStock motor.The engine is in my bug and can be seen/tested until Thursday 5th August, it then comes out.  I drive this most days and it is a faultless runner.  It doesn't smoke or use oil.  There are no wet patches on the floor underneath where it parks. There is a very slight feelable end float when tested by hand.  The engine does not knock or do any other nasties. It has excellent pulling power but is never thrashed.Â£350<img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r298/Cabble/DSCF4861.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r298/Cabble/DSCF4862.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
