Hi guys,me again..My x-flow build that i did is still going strong I now want to take my 1.8 and do the 2.0 shortblock.From what i have seen i will need the 2.6 caravelle pistons(82.5mm) and a 2.0 crank.I just want to know if the crank from the newer 2.0 8v vw engines will work if i remove the drive gear for the oilpump?

Re: APK/AZJ 2.0 crank for shortblock build.
Crank needs to have the gear removed and needs machining shorter and the nose changes.
Dx is just like any of those blocks. Some guys say 84.5 but I personally am not comfortable with that.

Thanks again panic,you are my hero i will rather sell the crank then and buy ady/2E crank.Think i will just stick to 82.5mm pistons to be on the safe side.

Up to 83.5 i am ok. Aftert that even the are between the cylinders for the gasket to seal get dubious.

Hi,
Is your build finished yet?
I am curios to see whats the gains between 82.5 & 83.5mm will be.
