your engine size ?

CodeMasteR · 11-04-2004

the title says it all..

likengtj · 11-04-2004

Does this mean NOT RUNNING????

Geek · 11-04-2004

1.3 liter rotary.

Willy_g77 · 11-04-2004

I have a 1971, 1.9L stock(running good) and a 1969, 1.1L stuck(not running)

lgladdis · 11-04-2004

okay,,, do you mean me or my car's? The car is a little over 1950 with the rebore and new pistons and it should be nice and fresh.

The owner has many miles since new and is no longer described as fresh or "quick throttle response" or even "smelling new". Possibly not even firing on all cyllinders.

DennisGardiner · 11-04-2004

I see the:
1.9L & the 2.0L "<"
So... does 2.0L "<" mean "less than 2.0L displacement??????
Then if it does,..... I guess my 2.4L Opel engine is a "<" than a 3.0L?????

I think the poll needs to be changed to read.

"What displacement Opel CIH engine, does your Opel have?"
1.5L
1.9L
2.0L
2.2L
2.4L

Another Poll could be:

"What "Make" Engine is in your Opel:
Opel (1.5L - 2.4L)
Buick V6 (231 cid)
Chevy (2.8L - 3.4L V6)
Chevy Small Block V8
Chevy Big Block V8
Ford Small Block
Other

Seems like kind of a personal question

But I agree with Dennis, as my engine "size" does not appear on original poll.

i thougt of it like thist 2.0< up to 2.9999L then from 3.00 < and up to 3.9999L
and im sry that forgot the 1.1L engien for the GT... i dont know that much about the engins just thourgt of this like af good pool

and made it the bedst way by my mind..

tekenaar · 11-05-2004

Most auto manufacturers typically categorize engine size in 100cc increments and don't concern themselves with details of anything in between. This conflicts with typical "rounding" methodology, as any dispacement between 1850cc and 1949cc would be considered a 1.9.

However, if you bored a stock 1.9 (1897cc) .040" over for 94mm pistons, you can't really call it a 1.9 any longer, but it's also technically not a 2.0 (1979cc) either. So would any overbored, stock stroke 1.9 then be considered a 2.0? I'm just curious because I have the same thing with my "3.9" Bitter SC, 95mm bore X 90.5mm stroke = 3849cc. I know . . . just semantics.

BTW, for quick calculation purposes, every .010" (.25mm) bore increase in our Opel 1.9 engines results in ~10cc displacement increase.

tekenaar · 11-06-2004

BTW, for those using the Chevy 3.75" pistons (95.25mm), your actual displacement with the 1.9 crank is 1989cc. Hmmm, that would mean using a .010" over Chevy piston with the 1.9 crank results in 1999cc.

RallyBob · 11-06-2004

In no particular order:

1927 cc's
1958 cc's
1989 cc's (2)
1992 cc's
2170 cc's
2263 cc's
2354 cc's
2372 cc's
2403 cc's
2478 cc's
2700 cc's

All are CIH Opel engines, with various bore and stroke combo's.

Old Hippie · 11-06-2004

ALL THESE NUMBERS!!!

AHHHHHH! I'm so confused.
1) 71 1.9 : runs
2) 70 1.9 : no-run
Like me, all stock parts.

Jossie · 11-11-2004

Why can't we vote for the Opel GT 1100?!? GT 1100 and GT 1900 these engines are the only ones who needs to be in te poll!!

I just converted the model engine choice (which I didn't understand) to the 1.1 litre. Vote away!

Old Hippie · 03-16-2005

I'm getting a Ford 2.9L (FI) w/ a 5 spd PLUS a 73 Manta for $100 or less this weekend. Engine is for #2 GT and after I remove the tail lamps, I may sell off the Manta body.

wrangler · 03-18-2005

Sounds like a whole lot of displacement envy to me! lol
Btw, thanks for all the good info I have been gleaning from this site!

tekenaar · 03-18-2005

Hmmmmm . . . poll is somewhat compromised since it doesn't reflect any multiple Opel owners out there . . . there are quite a few and number appears to be growing. Personally I own five 1.9s (one is .010" over), one 2.15 and one 2.4, not including my 3.9CIH Bitter.

Crusher · 03-19-2005

Engine is 2L,
What about intake, carbs, exhaust, ignition, cam, ported head ????
