Our new project NooNoo has tired piston rings. I was going to overhaul the bottom end. Mate of mine has a 1900 tall block in his garage.

Should I keep it 1600cc or fit this 1900cc bottom end. I'm not interested in going ZVH as I want to keep a CVH in there as that's what it came with.

Just wondering what the benefits pitfalls would be with the 2 types?

dont go for the 1900cvh(more so if its pe)unless it has forged pistons and steel rods
1.6cvh is the easiest and most reliable way

keep it 1600 cvh cus if thing go whrong inside , 1600 parts are more readily available so easy to source parts for

I was kinda thinking of keeping it 1600 like I have with my Escort. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a blinkered goon.

She will be remaining a 1600 I think
