M42 bore and stroke:

M44 Bore and stroke
85.0mm X 83.5mm
The M44's increase in torque is mainly due to the longer stroke. I personally prefer shorter stroke motors. The 1.8 16V Scirroco I owned reved so much faster than the 2.0 16V GTI that I had. I really didn't like that 2.0 16V VW motor, Loved the 1.8 16V VW motor. My buddy in Anaheim Hills 1.9 Z3 (M44) seemed slow compared to my '95 ti. They are both about the same weight.
