Snowy Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Anyone got a 1600 CIH crankshaft for sale? I will take a short motor or complete engine? Thanks
®evo03 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Whats the preference for a 1.6 crank? Just interested.

®evo03 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 How? Why, and it what way? Seen plenty dumped, is the 19 same as 2.0s / e.

®evo03 Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Reason i asked was i have a manta b 1.6, before i restored it, it came with poly windows, bucket seats and harness, bit weird i thought! Then thought maybe it had a xe in, saab turbo, but all was original, when it came to strip down, no body mods, no butchering, very original undamaged car, and never damaged or repaired. I think there is something done to the engine but cant figure out why someone would modify a cih 1.6, and its the original block, maybe its had head work, bigger valves etc, it is quick, had it at 115, which is weird for a 1.6, 4sp, original axle. Such a weird wee car, tdi vw racer! Running original solex carb. Must check my engine bank for 1.6 blocks.
