Or even if i kept my 1.8, i could pick a set of forged rods up, and heard that 1.8 20v audi tt or golf gti ect pistons fit the 1.8 zetec
Any comments on this? Cheers
My mate was the first person to engineer them Pistons to fit Zetec rods
There are two types of Pistons that will differ in compression. The ones from a BAM, APY, etc.will give you the lower compression 7.5:1 ish, AGU will make it higher at around 8:1 ish
Don't quote me on the compressions
