Some of you may have read my earlier pleas for help when my engine suddenly would not start. I thought it was the FI but after following the advice of members I did a compression and leak down test and discovered Zero compression and 100% leakage on #2.
With a heavy heart I pulled the engine, the pictures say it all. I had the heads rebuilt earlier this year and have not done more than 300 miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Some questions: what else needs to be checked for damage? I need some new heads does anyone have some ready to use heads for a 75 2.0? I guess the piston is also unusable, if I get some aftermarket P&C can I just install them without replacing the bushings on the connecting rods? I guess the summer will be over before the engine is fixed.

Shipping a set back and forth will cost a fortune. No telling how customs are going to see it.

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Jul 19 2015, 10:23 AM)  Shipping a set back and forth will cost a fortune. No telling how customs are going to see it. The heads were rebuilt locally in Gothenburg Sweden. I asked if they knew about air cooled motors and they assured me they knew what they were doing obviously they didn't. The shop is closed (summer holiday) until August. I will return both heads and see what they say. Even if they agree to replace the valve seats (4 were replaced on the rebuild) I don't have any confidence in their work. I got hold of some used heads from a member and they are on there way from the US. These heads should be ok to get the car running for whats left of the summer You guys have it good your side of the pond, parts are readily available and machine shop costs although not cheap are a lot more reasonable than Sweden. Unluckily for me the dollar has gone through the roof so imported parts are getting expensive plus theres 25% import duty on the part cost plus the shipping costs. I hate lying to the wife when she asks me how much this engine rebuilt has cost. |
