QUOTE(T.Rick6 @ Jun 23 2025, 12:24 PM)  If money is not an issue I would get PMB's 2.3, fabulous motor I'm not quite over the "keep the stock FI" yet. More power is always welcome, but this doesn't need to be the fastest car in the world. |

The top is so easy you don't really need to worry about that. Pulling the heads pistons and sleeves takes like 30 minutes. If you need to go into the bottom end, the top end is not the stress. Particularly since the exhaust studs will already be prepped and ready from the last time.

Got the car back from AutoAtlanta and dropped the engine. Now the fun begins!

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Mar 18 2025, 09:49 AM) Got it - agree; set aside cooling issues for the moment as not likely related to the cold start issue. What I’m trying to get a sense of is whether there is some underlying fast overheating (ie mouse house in the tin) that would quickly confuse the Fuel Injection by maybe starting too rich but very quickly going too lean to re-start if the 3/4 side head when the CHT is overheating. Well, I should have listened, but knowledge is hard to come by. Pulled the tins, and there was a bit of a mess in there. Appears to be mostly fiberglass insulation and leaves. Attached image(s)

It happens to the best of us. Trust me I’ve learned the hard way about mouse houses too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
