My 2.0L parts showed up today in the mail with some damage on them. I'm most concerned about the bottom of cyl #4 which has a chip missing from the bottom of the collar that slides into the case.
There are numerous cooling fins missing from cyl 3 and 4 but I'm not as concerned about those fins missing. But cyl 4 does have a significant number of them missing. Any thoughts?

Yikes, are you sure you want to do that? I know you said this engine is just a placeholder, but you never know how long you'll need a placeholder (I'm still driving my placeholder 914 that I expected to have sold a long time ago) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Also, when Jake says the one with the broken skirt shouldn't be used, he must have a reason. If you can wait, I can replace them.. but if you're in a hurry and you're sure you want to use those, I guess you should. I'd just hate to be the one that caused the demise of your engine.
