Well; I was gonna say something about that but I didn't. Yeah, the 78+ stroke
is normal. The 78X88 gives you something around 1910. The 78X90.5s give you
the normal 2007 engine. Which is what I have in my baja. Great engine. Best
I have ever seen in a VW for a driveable and reliable street engine. Oakhill
Auto swears by their 2007 engine and claim they have some with over 100,000
miles on them. I am up to about 45,000 in my baja, absolutely no problems.

Oh. And my stroke (the one in my engine, not my brain) is 78.4, not 74.8.

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?
