Title: 2.0 with 2.2 cams
Post by: kpassmore1974 on 18 July 2009, 21:46:25

What would the benefit of putting 2.2 cams in a 2.0 and can it be done without compromising the engine?

I don't think there would be any gains...

can't see it giving any more power, 2.2 has longer stoke than 2.0. Not sure if the cams would make any difference?

No probs just checking so can get everything together before i rebuild the lump as its blowing smoke and its been stood about a year now (cat c salvage for the tailgate) plus im going to service the box with fluid and filter change before it goes back on the road.

How about putting the 2.2 in a 2.0!!!

How deeply are you 'rebuilding?

How far can the 2.2 be overbored (2.4??)?

Complete rebuild of the engine. Cant be bothered to change the engines over im only doing the rebuild cause it blows a bit of smoke and chugs like a steam train when you take the filler cap off. Its more of a long term project at the mo.

A LOT of work for no gains, no point.
