Took the 2.0 to North east Machine shop last week.
their link Here's the news: Check align bore: Good Turn and polish crank: One over Magna flux (or whatever it's called) to test for cracks: Good Install threaded galley plugs: No problem Soak and clean case: Nice and shiney! Measure con rods: two are good, two are bad. Find and balance two new rods. Can you recommend a replacement? Find bearings "one over". $425.00 for the work and the rods. Sound reasonable? |

Whoa, guys!
Don't be so tuff on the old guy! I was just asking. #1 I used the term "Magnaflux" so everyone would understand what I was talking about. Dye Test is the term I was looking for, but I forgot, ok? #2 This is not the origonal crank! The origonal was TOAST!! "Type I" Eyeball check told me that. And about 4 of the Club 'teeners confirmed it in my progress thread! It's a boat anchor! The used one I found just needed a little turning. C. The VW guy around here couldn't even look at this motor until December. When I asked around I was refered to this shop by 11 out of 15 inquiries. I'll be glad to do business with anyone here, but I didn't feel like mailing a case and a crank. It seems a little expensive. I like to deal with local people whenever I can. #5 When I took the engine in, the guy doing the work just glanced at it and knew it was a Type IV from twenty feet away. I get the impression it's a good shop. I'll live with that decision. Jake, did you get my e mail? |
