i'll spend a bit more of your money. think about new front engine mounts. there is no better time to do the renew. a new cork gasket for the oil fill tower. gaskets for the intakes to the heads. check the cable for the air cooling control. it never ends.

I have those sitting around as well. PM me and you can have them for a "song". FYI - you should be getting your other stuff I would think today?

Thanks for all the great replies.
Oh yes the fan shroud, I wasn't really planning to do that but I just wanted to see what a a wire wheel would do. Once I got started I couldn't stop. It turned out really nice. I am trying to figure out what kind of clear coat to put on because yes I'm sure it will oxidize quickly. Too bad you won't be able to see much of it, It would have looked nice in the '74 VW Bus I once had, oh well I will know how cool it looks. More progress this week, I hope.

Nothing to show for engine work but I was poking around the car a bit and found a little rust. It's mostly the jack point but definitely needs to be dealt with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Yes it has been a while since I have done anything to this engine, having to much fun getting the other engine running and actually driving the car a bit. Now that I have a taste I want to pull that engine and stick this one in.
So I pulled the heads to see how things looked under there. Not sure how much work I will do, money is a big factor. Here are some pics. Attached image(s) |

Running a tad rich. What is the numbers on the MPS and the ECU? Test the MPS with a vacuum tester to see if it holds a 15hg for 5 minutes.

If you pull the flywheel put in a new pilot bushing. I had one of those go once and it trashed the input shaft to the gearbox. Sort of like that Murphys Law thing where the $300 picture tube blows out in order to save a 10 cent fuse.

I'm gonna pull the flywheel, what else should I do while it's off?
Can't wait to see how this thing compares to the tired 1.7 that I finally have working ok. |

Change the rear main seal, resurface the flywheel, new pressure plate and clutch, throw out bearing, throw out arm cup bushing, add the spacer to the arm pivot etc....DWD is setting in..

Zoopseal is the only way to go here clear coat would be a choice on the cheap, but will wear out.

Welcome!
If you're going to keep the stock Fuel Injection, got through and clean some of the mechanical parts & electrical contacts as follows:
Did anyone say you're REALLY going to love the 2.0 L compared to the 1.7. Enjoy! |

Thanks for the input guys I will add what already wasn't on the list to the list.
Had to share a photo, probably the last day on the road until I get the 2.0 and sideshift tranny in. Just to many unknowns with the 1.7 need to focus my attention on the other, I just had to drive it a little. Not bad for $700... Attached image(s) |

Here is one piston and cylinder set, I have a line an some 94mm bus P&Cs that I have been told I can use the cylinders. They are a good deal and I am checking into them some more. These are prolly fine but new is nice too.

I think this is as far as I am going to go, except for the flywheel coming off to replace the seal.
