Default 2.0 Block/bottom end

Hi,

Looking at gettin a 2.0 bottom end from a mk1 focus for my mk1 1.8 focus as the heads are the same.

Firstly is it worth it? Iv bin told by kent that my cams power will kick in lower down if fitted in the larger capacity engine. Iv also got full exhaust/induction mods.

Also if i buy a 2nd hand engine, is there anything i wud need to look out for around the condition of the block? is it expensive to recondition or is it not worth it? or wud better option to buy a new one (seen one on ebay at £350, but including fitting its prob not gona be worth the gains).

Would i get the additional 15bhp the 2.0 come with?

Sorry for all the quests

Thanks

Matt
