I'm working on stripping down my 2.0L out of my '74. I've done a top end rebuild on my '71 Type 1 engine, but am new to Type IVs and bottom end rebuilds. So, I'm looking for some advice.
So far, from what I can tell the heads on my engine look like they are still in good, re-usable condition, but the engine is seized and the cylinders are badly rusted to the pistons. At this point, would I be better off just using the BFH method to destroy the 94mm cylinders that installed now and go with 96mm's, or is there any hope in saving these? (I'm thinking there isn't) Also, there was water in the case, so what does that typically mean for internal component replacements - cam, crank, bearings, etc? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Just in the planning phase now and trying to collect as much info as possible.  |

Well, I am just about to the point where I'm thinking the only way these cylinders are coming off is in tiny pieces. So, new cylinders are in my future. Now my question becomes should I just replace the 94mm cylinders and keep the domed (I'm assuming high compression) pistons, or replace it all and go 96mm???
