Do you want to revise that statement?? All of the cases are essentially the same... you have the odd difference, but nothing major... and the barrel bore in the case is all the same, regardless of the engine size!!
Really?? I mean really???? I thought that too until I put a 1.7 flywheel on top of a 2.0 litre flywheel and from an external envelope point of view they are IDENTICAL. The difference is the machining in the centre ....... 1.7 clutch is 215mm and the sides of the flywheel are parallel leading down to where the friction face is, 2.oLitre and 1.8 clutches are 228mm and the sides of the flywheel leading down to the friction face are tapered (i.e. 'undercut') to allow the larger flywheel sufficient clearance on the diameter. I'll show you sometime Joker
I always thought CU was a T25/T3 2 litre engine. It can be fitted with bay tinware to make it fit though.
Now, I can attest that the 1.7 case has the same counterbores in the case - I split a case at the weekend that I was convinced was 2.0litre but then noticed that the conrods had the little nub on the end so grabbed a 1.7 barrel and it slipped in perfectly, the difference with the 1.7 barrels is that they have a double step on the sleeve that fits into the case, the counterbore on the case is 100mm give or take, same as a 1.8 or 2.0 litre .... 1.8 and 2.0 litre barrel sleeves are parallel, not stepped.
In fact I'll show you the flywheel I had off you a couple of years ago compared with a 1.7 flywheel ..........
I know nothing about engines. But I just checked my engine number on the V5. It starts with CJ, which corresponds with that big lump of metal and wire hiding behind the flap thingy at the back
I have a flap thingy at the back, but I haven't looked inside yet. Lots of noises come from it and scares me.
I've had the whole different but same size flywheel dilemma already!!! Think I've got me head round that now
