Well all I have finally found some good priced piston's I was looking at
the techtonics pistons for a JH 1.8L 8V. They were 2MM over but I cant
afford the $450 US price tag. www.germanautoparts.com have .5MM over
pistons for $209 much better ( I reallt wanted the 2mm OVER ones), so I
guess I will go with those they are 10:1 compression as well. I am not
sure what horse power gains I will see running these instead of 8.5:1
compression piston but I am sure it will be some kind of increase. Just
wondering if anyone has purchased the techtonics gasket kit, if so how
are the gaskets, should I just go with german auto parts gaskets or are
the techtonics ones better? Another part I need is the dual exhast
manifold I have the dreaded 4-1 exhuast manuifold. I was figuring that
any exhaust manifold from a 1.8L Jetta, Golf (85 to 92 I believe) with
the 10:1 compression engine should have the right exhaust manifold and
it should bolt onto my 1.8l JH 8v head. If not what exhaust manifold
should I look for?
Thanks for all you help
