I have a strange noise in my /6. I can probably fix it without tearing apart the engine however I was going to completely rebuild it in the winter anyway so I decided to just do it now.
I will be using a 2.7l 7r magnesium case. I read all over that Casesavers are a good idea on rebuild for mag cases. heres a few questions regarding this topic- -are Casesavers absolutely necessary on magnesium cases? -assuming so, who can install them for me? -what is the approximate cost of having Casesavers installed? -can it be properly done DIY? I am not overly worried about the cost, I just hate shipping things and waiting for them. |

Timeserts can also pull out (ask how I know), so I'd go with the Casavers. I went all out and had Henry Schmidt do my 2.7 engine rebuild with the Casavers, oil system upgrades, etc. Not cheap, but it runs like a scalded cat (199.5hp at the rear wheels).
Ollie's would be a great choice for machining if you want to assemble the engine yourself. |
