Its normally the rods that gives these stock engines trouble isnt it? And those are normally busted by the torque right?
Would pushing the power band higher (through a intake manifold with shorter runners) lower the peak torque slightly, allowing more high end power while reducing stress on the rods?

what kind of power could you make with a 1.8 with just arp head studs and a new head gasket? I'm gonna hopefully be finishing my drift build before the summer so I want to be able to push reliable power for the season but from this thread, people are saying you can make 250 with stock internals?
