Thanks for the offer, but I was asking the weight as genuine VW jobs are up to 2kgs heavier than repro.

Ive posted the engine code above, I think this could be a '73/'74.

Can a 1200 case be bored up to a 1600 or not?

 

[duts]

Don't think so Mikey walls are too thin afaik

 

[SteveR]

No Mikey, a 1300 can be but the 1200 can't.

Taken from Rob and Dave's

The 1200cc engine has a 64mm crankshaft and 77mm cylinders. You can buy 83mm cylinders which have thinner walls (so the outside diameter is still the same) which will fit into the same holes in the case and give you about 1475cc. These cylinders are not easy to find though - probably possible in Europe or the UK because a LOT of 1200cc engines were used there, but not easy in other parts of the world.

The case for the 1300cc/1500cc/1600cc engines is different to the 1200cc engine and the enlarging process has more choices. All these engines use a 69mm crankshaft, but different diameter cylinders. The 1300cc engine has 77mm diameter cylinders, and either 83mm 1500cc cylinders or 85.5mm 1600 cylinders will plug straight in - the holes in the case are the same size for all three cylinder sizes (the cylinder walls get thinner as the inside diameter increases).
