ok, as you all know by now I have a burnt valve, and I think that's it.
however, I'm catching a lot of grief from people saying I should split the case, do everything!!! I understand that if I want this 1.7 to last another 100k miles I do need to do this... however, if I only need to fix what's wrong until next summer/spring... is it ok, to just do the top-end(rings/heads) now? I plan to completely rebuild next summer, or next winter(2004) at the latest, put 96mm pistons with a 71mm(or 78mm) crank, new cam...the works!!! at most I will put 1-3k miles on the engine between now and then. I hardly drive it in the winter... no heater b/c of headers... so, can you do the rings and heads without cracking the case and checking main bearings, rod bearings and everything that will be replaced in a year anyway? I just didn't want to to all of this and have to do it all again when I trick out the engine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
