UPDATE- Shaggy has purchased, a 2.0 (we think), from a club member here---Jasons---
This is a re-built engine from one of the FAMOUS TWIN PINK CARS! (lipstick pink!). Jason dropped the engine and Jim and his pal Matt just picked it up. They are on their way to H. Fright to pick up a free standing engine stand. The engine currently has a single carb set-up but the plan is to get back to fuel injection.

No, Im sorry. I have to step in as a fellow board member and perform an intervention on behalf of the 914club. Britt, you cannot have another single carb setup. You cant. Step away from the keyboard. Your FI is now running, your dizzy is fine...no single carbs for you...no, you cant make a cool dual carb system... You must now throw out your old single carb and all your old dizzies. Take a deep breath...take each scavenging urge one at a time, you will get through it... Rich |

How does one break loose the five bolts on the pressure plate on a "free spinning engine"?
The boy wonder has already broke one of the impeller blades trying to hold the crank still with a giant screwdriver as a pry bar while said bolts are loosened..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) John |

gee, who'da thunk that would happen. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) get a new fan, and a FLYWHEEL LOCK from your favorite vw parts store. 3 dollars and no broken fan blades (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) this is what you need. when in doubt, read the manual (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) (IMG:http://www.bfyobsoleteparts.com/volkswagen/files/master/thumbs/t_9532.jpg) (IMG:http://cat.cip1.com/gfx/ACC-C10-7025.jpg) |

John, I think when I had to do this before, I put one of the bellhousing bolts in the case and used a crowbar or old screwdriver to lock the flywheel leveraged against the bolt. Kinda the wrong way to do it, but it works. Do you have an air compressor? An impact will break those too.
Let me know if I can help. Also before you get the flywheel off, you should turn that motor through and see what the stroke is. Stick a straw or tie-wrap in the spark plug hole. We probably should have done this before Jim left with the motor. |

Thanks Jason, he loosened the flywheel bolts as you described. All we can find around here for the spark plug holes are chopsticks will they work? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) John (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif) P.S. Thanks Mr. 'I told you so', three bucks eh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chairfall.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) P.P.S. Uncle Ron? Got a dipstick tube for a 2.0, (all the same?)? We have a dipstick. P.P.P.S. Got a spare impeller around too? |

Not broken off, bent, not Shaggy this time though.
Dude, if we knew what we needed, before we needed it, we would have it. It is in the course of, during, and after doing, that we discover what it was we could have used. John P.S. There is no shortage of attitude here though... right attitude, I could not say... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) |

We bent it pulling the motor out of the car. It caught something coming out from under the car. John, is it ruined? I bet you could shorten it. Just shorthen the dipstick accordingly. Again another so-so solution. |

MAPP gas? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I thought I might pour sand in the dipstick tube before bending it back, like in the film 'The Flight of the Phoenix'. The Flight of the Phoenix John P.S. This is the real one, not the "new" one. |

MAPP gas is made by combining liquefied petroleum gas with Methylacetylene-Propadiene
http://www.corpbrothers.com/productcgc/mapp.htm MAPP gets things REAL hot, which is where you want metal to be to anneal it so it doesnt develop stress cracks and break off. b |
