i'll spend a bit more of your money. think about new front engine mounts. there is no better time to do the renew. a new cork gasket for the oil fill tower. gaskets for the intakes to the heads. check the cable for the air cooling control. it never ends.

Sean, those front engine mounts, I have had a new set sitting around forever, also you will need intake gaskets for the manifold. I have those sitting around as well. PM me and you can have them for a "song". FYI - you should be getting your other stuff I would think today? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looking great! I love the fan shroud! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks for all the great replies.

Oh yes the fan shroud, I wasn't really planning to do that but I just wanted to see what a a wire wheel would do. Once I got started I couldn't stop. It turned out really nice. I am trying to figure out what kind of clear coat to put on because yes I'm sure it will oxidize quickly. Too bad you won't be able to see much of it, It would have looked nice in the '74 VW Bus I once had, oh well I will know how cool it looks.

More progress this week, I hope. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Nothing to show for engine work but I was poking around the car a bit and found a little rust. It's mostly the jack point but definitely needs to be dealt with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Yes it has been a while since I have done anything to this engine, having to much fun getting the other engine running and actually driving the car a bit. Now that I have a taste I want to pull that engine and stick this one in.

So I pulled the heads to see how things looked under there. Not sure how much work I will do, money is a big factor.

Here are some pics.

Running a tad rich. What is the numbers on the MPS and the ECU? Test the MPS with a vacuum tester to see if it holds a 15hg for 5 minutes.

If you pull the flywheel put in a new pilot bushing. I had one of those go once and it trashed the input shaft to the gearbox. Sort of like that Murphys Law thing where the $300 picture tube blows out in order to save a 10 cent fuse.

I'm gonna pull the flywheel, what else should I do while it's off?

Can't wait to see how this thing compares to the tired 1.7 that I finally have working ok.

Zoopseal is the only way to go here clear coat would be a choice on the cheap, but will wear out.

Welcome!

If you're going to keep the stock Fuel Injection, got through and clean some of the mechanical parts & electrical contacts as follows:
  • Soak Aux Air Rgeulator in penetrating oil for a couple of days. Blow it dry, then test it with 12V - to make sure it closes in 10-15 miuntes.
  • Makre the the Fuel Pressure regulator is up to snuff. Fluctuating Fuel Pressure will play havoc with the FI.
  • Go through the wiring harness from the ECU and check every line for continuity from the main connector to each connectors respective end.
  • Clean the contacts of connectors with contact cleaner from Radio Shack or equivelant.
  • Clean all contacts on the Relay Board (the one that goes behind the drivers seat in the engine bay).
  • Verify that you have the correct & working relays & fuses on the board. The picture showed two blue fuses. one shold be blue & one red (I forget the amps - check the book).
  • Clean all three ground conections - there are three. 1) Located form tranny to bolt under rear trunk. 2) Behind air box (plenum) mounted at one of the rear case bolts. 3) Right underneath the Relay board - down in the corner of the engine bay.
  • Find a cover for the relay board. Even on it doesn't keep the board water tight - but it helps a lot.
I'm sure there's more, but this is what I can come up with off the top of my head.

Did anyone say you're REALLY going to love the 2.0 L compared to the 1.7.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the input guys I will add what already wasn't on the list to the list.
Had to share a photo, probably the last day on the road until I get the 2.0 and sideshift tranny in. Just to many unknowns with the 1.7 need to focus my attention on the other, I just had to drive it a little.

Not bad for $700...

Here is one piston and cylinder set, I have a line an some 94mm bus P&Cs that I have been told I can use the cylinders. They are a good deal and I am checking into them some more. These are prolly fine but new is nice too.

I think this is as far as I am going to go, except for the flywheel coming off to replace the seal.
