[jsayre914]

I have been searching all the 2056 threads. Their should really be a 2056 for dummies thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I plan on building a 2056 D-jet from my stock 2.0 1973 motor. I have been collecting parts since 2009 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Here is what I got so far:

2.0 motor (havent split it yet)
D-Jet system off my 73
4 cleaned & Tested injectors
new wiring harness from bowlsby
new tps board
new hoses
rabby 9550 cam kit
1.8 rockers and swivel feet
aa 96mm cylinder & pistons

I might be forgettin a few things, it has been a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The heads should be sent out within the week to be checked and prepared with new seats, valves, etc. And I will be splitting the case open this week also. All the cool kids are doing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What other thing do I need to purchase as I begin???

gaskets, bearings, flywheel ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

also what tools are required other than the basic tools?

I never done this before

I think Joe got the cam kit, not just the cam.

You need an engine seal kit.
I'd not bother with the external cooler now. That can be added later, if needed.

You need an engine stand with a VW/Porsche adapter. If you don't have one, you can borrow mine as I am not using it.

You will probably need new main bearings. If cam bearings did not come in the cam kit, you need them too.

If Jake still offers this service, consider sending your rotating mass to Jake to have it dynamically balanced. Also, I had Jake fit the bearings properly to my case. You can do this yourself, but I felt better having a pro do it for me.

If you don't want to spend the money to ship everything to Jake, or he no longer offers this service, call Mark at Warrior Motors in Red Lion. I've had him do a bunch of work for me and he is a good machinist and an honest dude.

If you need special tools, ask me before you buy anything. I may have it. I also have Jakes engine video. Swing over and borrow it if you don't already have it.

Lots of shop rags and carb cleaner. Lots.
