Saabretooth 8 Report post Posted December 13, 2013 Just thinking of another project, and I'm looking for some directions to parts and so on. I've got a 159 2.2 JTS which I am thinking of increasing its capacity to 2.4 or thereabouts, with the same compression ratio. Its a selespeed and has been maintained well over the years. I'll probably be needing lighter pistons, piston heads, new gaskets, liner, maybe a stronger crank and stuff. Could someone point to me the necessary parts?

Smaky 73 Report post Posted December 14, 2013 The 2.2 is a pathetic excuse for an enine as it is, why waste good money on a dead horse? The chain issue they have should put off any thoughts of stretching its legs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saabretooth 8 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 Its almost like you're giving me a rope to hang myself but its not my car, I'm just doing the research for a buddy who isn't so internet savvy. but if I'm doing it, at the least, I thought of documenting it for the rest of the guys to follow or avoid this path...
