[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

You'll need a dial indicator for setting the valve train geometry, and an adjustable pushrod. You'll need a calculator, and pen and paper for recording everything. You probably don't have a screwdriver wide enough to tighten the oil relief valve (I didn't). I made one from the end of an old file. You'll need lots of patience. Clean your glasses, cause you're gonna do lots of reading. And that beer? Leave it in the frig till you put the cover back on the engine after each time you work on it.

I spent a year building your exact engine. It now has 300 miles on it. It has no oil leaks, and just screams compared to the 90 hp, 2.0. 3rd gear acceleration is more than I ever dreamed of. My bro says it rivals his 78 911. I really doubt that, but it is quick.

Good luck. Hope ya have as much fun as I did.
