Hi All - it's been a looong time since I posted here. Had the car out for a drive this weekend and left a trail of oil on the highway and have zero compression. Looks like I'm shopping for a new engine.
I've left a msg with Mark (Original Customs) in Grand Rapids. Awaiting his reply and curious about other options. Looking forward to hearing ppl's thoughts/opinions. -pt |

Don't ask for thoughts and opinions. Oof. You'll get a snoot full.
New engine or rebuild. Maybe time to upgrade? You are in good hands with McMark. |

Looking for different options is all, and not all that inclined to be taking it apart/doing much/any of the work myself anymore. Will be speaking with Mark shortly. Seems like a solid path given Grand Rapids isn't all that far from where I live... -pt |

+1 for McMark. Also start asking around to find guys who are converting to a six. Ask the builders - McMark, Tangerine racing, PMB, etc and a WTB on this site.

Looking forward to hearing ppl's thoughts/opinions. -pt Staying aircooled or not is really the only decision you Need to make .... If staying air cooled . engines are floating around most sub 100hp If you pump water .... I suggest sleeper route with n-a subaru motor ..... (I would love to go that route but i dont have that kinda coin to completely re-enginerre my car ) |

I have most of the parts I need to build a 2.0L , 2056. 1.7 or 1.8 or 1911. I have a set of NEW in BOX heads built for the 914 store by Len Hoffman. They are built with 2.0 valves but with a 1.7/1.8 spark location. They are not Chinese heads. If interested email me or call. Al ljgmere@aol.com or 770-616-3767.

Many thanks for the options, fellas. I'm planning to flat tow the car to Mark in Grand Rapids in a few weeks and will know more once he gets a look, starts taking things apart, etc.
More to follow. |
