Mike is now working for Isuzu and has little time to build engines. I have a hard time reaching him Drove by his place last weekend and he was not home. He has been spending an lot of time traveling. better to email him

Yep....Cal Poly grad. Really smart guy.

Great Mech engineer.

Got married and works for Isuzu now. Like Bruce said ....haven't heard from him in a while and I doubt he has time for building anybody a motor at the moment.

I just have a question maybe you guys can answer. The video that I posted, he has a GC case with 4 intake studs. I thought ALL 2.0's had 3 intake studs...

Posted by: Dave_Darling Aug 5 2015, 09:18 AM

The heads can be swapped very easily. (Except the 1.7 ones, which have to be milled.)

So, which 4 stud heads would work with a GC case? And what are the benefits?

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 5 2015, 09:53 AM

1.8, none... The 2.0 heads were the best flowing and they are at best, a compromise.
Consider the LE series heads available from LN Engineering, Raby, Len Hoffman. All of these heads are pretty tired after 40 years. Many you will find have cracks, valve seats that will drop, etc...

The reason why I ask is that my 1970 has a GC case and 4 stud intake, so now seems the mystery has been solved, it's a 2.0 with 1.8 heads.

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 5 2015, 10:14 AM

Or, it's a GC case with milled 1.7 heads.

Or maybe 2.0 heads from a VW bus, they have 4 studs.

Posted by: pfolker Aug 5 2015, 11:12 AM

Is there a part number on the heads, or any other markings that I can look for?

Posted by: ConeDodger Aug 5 2015, 12:57 PM

Not that I've ever noticed.

If you're looking for an engine rebuilder, as of next Monday, Original Customs will be located in Grand Rapids Michigan. Go 2056 and you'll be a happy dog...

This gives a few numbers and locations to look for.

Posted by: pfolker Aug 5 2015, 01:42 PM

I'm not looking to rebuild, I'm just trying to figure out what I have...

Posted by: montoya 73 2.0 Aug 5 2015, 01:44 PM

Posted by: Dave_Darling Aug 5 2015, 03:09 PM

Yup, there should be a part number in the rocker box.

Thanks guys! Looks like I have more homework to do!

Posted by: euro911 Aug 5 2015, 03:35 PM

I haven't had the chance to meet Mike (yet), but have purchased oddball parts from him before. I know he's built several motors that he's sold to members here, with no negative repercussions I've ever heard of.

Posted by: Dave_Darling Aug 5 2015, 09:59 PM

Here's a reference for most of the cylinder head part numbers:

I removed the valve cover and searched for the part number, here is what I found. The number is 022.101.372 which I believe to be 2.0 VW bus heads.
