I have bought a 1303 some month ago. The motornumber is a VW exchangepartsign following a D and no numbers.
But the engine have the following ID's Dual ports, double manifold heater tubes. And the gearbox is from a 1600. Is it possible to fill som messured fluid into one of the cylinders when then piston is in bottom of the stroke? Or is this a bad idea? Any other ideas? Greetings...MIC from Denmark
Bad idea... and it won't even give you the answer you are looking for. You can't fill the cylinder with fluid, because the cylinder is lying flat on it's side, and the spark plug hole is in the middle (almost). There's more problems than that too. Just forget it.
The only way to really know what size it is, is to pull the engine out, and remove one cylinder head.
The double manifold heater tubes I have seen have been from a 1300cc engine. MAYBE they also made them for the 1600, but I'm not sure. This started in 74, with the 1300 dual port engine. (In Europe)

The car is a 74 1303. Så et might be a 1300 engine.... Bye MIC
A 1303S originally had a 1600. A 1303 with no S had a 1300.
Nobody knows what engine you have in there now... :)

Oh, they know... They *know*... :-D
Remove the heads and measure the bores...can't think of another way. Nearly every bug has non original engine parts so you can't deduce anything from the engine code etc, etc.
