So, finally getting going on my dads car, he purchased this "newly rebuilt" 2.0L a few years ago. Its been sitting covered in the garage for at least 2 maybe 3 years now so before we throw it in the car I decide to at least pull the heads and see whats really in this thing. From all indications it seems to be a pretty fresh stock rebuild.
It does have real 2.0 heads, it didn't have head gaskets but it did have a single shim inside each chamber (I guess to lower the compression even more, I forgot to measure the thickness)... The pistons have a pretty healthy dish in them that I don't like. What are a set of euros going for these days? Or how bout a set of 96's? Is there a way to tell real german cylinders from others incase I want to get these opened up? and I did some very crude measurements on the cam, is this anywhere close to a real cam? exhaust: .326 lift and 180* duration intake: .326 lift and 225* duration these numbers are no where near being precise, but I am hoping close enough to tell if its a stock cam or not... The car is going to have dual webers and is goinig in a street car, so don' t need anything crazy, I just want this thing to run well. I am probably going to send the heads off to Jake/Len to make sure they were put together right, and maybe change the pistons out to bump the compression...any further suggestions? on to the pics: Attached image(s)
