I am starting to reassemble my 1975 2L engine after tearing it apart 20 years ago. As it has been a long while since I started the teardown, I don't remember where and what all the pieces are. It would be awesome if anyone would send/post me a photo showing all the pieces and where they go (of the complete engine tins). Even better if anyone could tell me if a source of aftermarket engine tins can be found.
Thanks in advance, Tom |

No source for new. Best is to figure out what you have & fill in the missing.
Since many of the parts were shared with the T2 motor there is no need to reproduce them. Unless you have $ to burn & are looking for the Bling effect... I understand that The T4 store has CF units? BTW I just posted this shortly ago to a similar request (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

There is plenty of old stuff floating around, might need to move the location of the spark plug holes if 1.8 top tin is all that's readily available
Good luck with the build, will she be stock? |

I can’t imagine brand new steel would be cheaper

I don't think you can install them with the tubes installed. Often they are just left on the motor. Zach |

The engine is going to be stock except for minor modifications to 1974 specs (delete air pump from 1975 CA emission). I will look for the parts which have been moved over the years. I have purchased a new cam shaft that's NOS and have put in the stronger con rod bolts. Waiting for Andrade Tabari to modify my valve train to accept 10 mm swivel feet rockers. |

Those pieces are what I was looking for and as I recalled they go at the bottom of the cylinders above the pushrod tubes. |

Question from the experts? Is i.8 tin the same as 2.0?? Tom |

That is your air injection system. The one way valve is cut. This is smog equipment. It looks like the air pump that feeds it is in the box below it.
