but it almost looked like that block had siamese cylinders. and siamese cylinders are gay.. my dad had a 400 chev once and the cylinder wall between 2 cyl's melted. idk how he did it, but you could see through one cyl right into the other one.
Most all aftermarket chevy blocks have siamesed cylinders. They are stronger provided you have enough cylinder wall thinkness. Thats the prob with stock SBC 400s

im just not fond of siamesed cyl's. they are way more apt to hot spots. and since theres no water between the cylinders, i dont think the design would be as desireable. i would rather have thick enough cylinders that had water jackets between them. but thats just me.

yeah, but you need enough space between the cylinders for that, lots of crazy built motors are bored so big there is no room for a water jacket in between the cylinders with a decent cylinder wall thickness.

i know, but lots of crazy built motors also have solid, or filled blocks. and thats a totally different animal there. thats where the uuber strenght is achieved. :wink:

PD 105, PD 130, PD 150 and PD 160 are 8V.
PD 140 and PD 170 are 16V.
For a 16V IDI, Aki-76 tried using a KR (1.8 16V) head, but suitable pistons and rods couldn't be found. Now he's bulding a 20V M-TDI, using 1.8 T 20V head and an SDI block :twisted:

SDI?
suction diesel injection. Interesting. So Naturally Aspirated? or is there more to it?
Jeeze, europe has WAY more interesting engines... why aren't they over here in boring North America? or am i just oblivious.

a 20V head would be crazy fast on a diesel!!! but the question is... can it hold up to the intense pressures & boost??? hmmm i wonder!

just think of how the head is setup. 5 valves per cylinder. that is an abundance of cracks!!! :lol: the heat stress will probably take its toll. i bet there is much less meat between the valves etc to withstand the heat.

Reading this thread makes me feel happy to be in the UK now
Such a pity the 1.8 20VT engines are expensive
I'd be looking at £3k for a decent engine, that's about $5k US
I had a drive in an 08 Golf GT 2.0TDI Sport this morning and... WOW ! Really nice drive, very rapid and full of torque
Can't wait to get my Mk2 Golf 1.6TD and start tinkering
Gotta get rid of my Frontera Sport first though...
