Depends what engine it is and what spec it was built to. Could be a blueprint 1600 or what they designated the System Two 1.9 CVH. This was a bored 1600.

Power are on 01895 255699.

I thought the 1.9 from PE was a US Tallblock cvh.....i didnt think you could bore the 1.6 to 1.9 safely

Nope, Specialised Engines use the US tall block - Powers used a bored 1600 CVH.

The system 2 uses a, overbored and stroked CVH.. its amazing that there are not so many about these days considering the numbers they were done in... Perhaps it had something to do with the thinner block compared to the tall block... perhaps a lot of them just went bang like mine did

I believe Vulcan did the machining work for a while but I believe they ceased due to the amount of issues they had with them and no longer will do this.

Personally speaking from experience I would keep well away
