Yes, Mr. Dickhead. I am doing research. Thanks for asking.

Denis. Derrick told you that it would be a 2 liter if you used the
90.5s don't you remember the conversation

the Bluebus.
He agrees that the walls aren't too thin. I can also keep the 88s in
my parts box, since they are interchangeable.

Denis: One, I am suprised that you haven't talk to your
brother-in-law; you know the one, the VW engine guru who you sold the
blue bus to at an exorbinant price to. Two; that said, the 90.4s
should be fine. Walls are not too thin. That should bring you up to
something right around 2000cc. I assume from what you said about the
88s that your case is already machined for the larger jugs. If you
have that many miles on that engine it is probably time for a
freshening anyway. Do a valve job, put in new jugs and pistons and
replace the rod bearings while you are at it. You can do all of that
without splitting the case.

Thanks! It told me I actually have a 1906, although there is some
wiggle with deck height.
This all came up because, while I have controlled most of it, my
engine is still blowing oil. My local Porsche/Farrari type mechanic
that owns the local parts house, says that I need rings because I have
excessive case pressure. I can vent the valve covers and put in a
breather box, but the guy says that I am not solving the problem.
Derrick at Wayout (also an excellent repair shop) tells me he has 90.4
MM cylinder set that will fit right in where my 88s go with no
machining. The 90.4s have thin walls, problem? My 88s have thick walls.
Do I do the rings on the 88s? Put in new 90.4s? Vent the valve covers?

Do a google search for vw engine displacement chart.
There's a good chart that comes from a dune buggy place.

I cannot remember how to figure engine size. I supposedly have a
1904. When I had it built 9 or 10 years ago I was told it was a
1914. It is 74.8 x 88. If I just multiply that I get 6582.4 which
would mean I have a 6 ½ liter engine and I am pretty sure that is
wrong. How do I get to 1914?
