An EJ22 as the next best option after an SVX?

Errr......

What's wrong with EJ25's Clive?

Context..

Think Pete would say the EJ22 is the second best, 2/3 of what he's got now!

Pete's had two, but not an EJ25

.. and its exactly 2/3 in cylinders and size, so kinda neater comparison?

Fair enough!

I thought you had decided on the EJ route a couple of years ago Clive, and had in fact bought an engine as well.

Is my memory going haywire?

Nope, engine tucked up nicely in bed, but a bit of an odd EJ22, around '93 with a weird loom... good memory!

I can enjoy petrol engines, my favorite being the 2.6 5 cylinder but i love TDI's far more. :D
