I have a 1.7 that was pulled from a running car. It has a bunch of oil leaks and one spark plug hole was messed up in the past. The hole was drilled and tapped for a NAPA insert. At some point the insert broke and the bottom piece is slowly making it's way down into the cylinder. This piece is blocking the spark now causing the engine to run a bit rough The head needs to be pulled and that piece of insert removed before it works it's way all the way down and drops into the cylinder to do a bunch of damage.
A shop near my house was broken into and a customers type 4 engine was stolen. The shop is interested in buying my engine. I was planning to keep it to build into a 2.0+ at some point in the future. My question is, should I sell to the shop and if so, for how much? |

My question is, should I sell to the shop and if so, for how much? id say keep it. Jake R. says the 1.7 is great to build a 2.0 or 2056 from, you will get new heads so you dont worry about the bad spark plug in the head. keep it and build out a 2.0 or more from it. all cases are the same , except the register, which can be changed for larger bore cylinders, |
