Hi guys-hope everybody's having a good day. I was fortunate off to get a ton of help from Forest and Keith today getting the "turbo" clutch issue sorted out. I can't say enough about how helpful they were and gracious with their time.
One of the things that I suspected, but it appears we now have proof of, is that this engine was built up from the original 2.0 GC case spec. Can anyone identify these heads or help make a guess as to displaceme Attached thumbnail(s) |

As you and everyone else can read into this thread is that your question, while well intended and well focused on available investigations today, cannot define what you have in detail.
Having been under there for a few hours today, I would say (as your pictures indicate) that you have a very substantial 4 - built on a 2.0 case - and it doesn't leak at the case, cylinders, or heads or even pesky valve covers. PR tubes are another thing but an easy fix. So all is good for now and it is a safe bet it will serve you for a few thousand miles. But. Is it safe?.......... On your current track, you have ample time to sort out what the engine is. You have a nice backup 4 - 2.0 and working tranny to match / if things go North and crap-out. (I'm from the South) What you know it is,... is.... (the meaning of is is?,.) is you have a strong well built 4 above 2.0 based on the performance you report on first drives / and you have a 912 and another 914-4 so lets just keep on the track of getting the clutch repaired/replaced and get it on the road for a few thousand miles. I think it is safe.... Yes. Its safe. Then we can dabble in what is is .......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) see you at 10 under the lift.a Attached image(s)
