Im going to upgrade my series 2 engine firstly I cant afford a muggelo,rt, imola etc so Im going to put on a 175 kit. I have a jetex and a AF clubman so will be run with these. What I dont no is what is best.
Should I
1. Buy an of the shelve kit?
2. Take a 150 barrel out to 175, If so what piston should I use and what is the best barrel to use as in a gp150 or li etc.

It has been noted that some 175 kits have small piston - bore clearance. This could lead to seizing, however carefully they are run in. If you go this route it's worth checking before you fit.

I know, I've been there

Any idea mate what would be the best 150 barrel to use or would it not make much difference seeing as I will get some porting work done on it

actually ...i would go for and recomend the AF 175 kit...and then get that sorted and ported...as opposed to any bored out 150 /or 175 cc cast cyl...
