My engine dropped a valve seat. Not cool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

But Garold has donated his 1.7 to me so I can run it, while he disassembles my 1.7 to learn more about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

So the plan is to get the old engine out on sunday and get the new engine from Indiana somewhere, and bring it home and install it on monday and tuesday.

I'm also planning to build a hot cammed 1.7, with Megasquirt and a raby DTM. Yeah yeah i know the 1.7 sucks and whatever, but all i need it for is to drive around town, and cruise 75-80mph. The DTM should keep the heads cooler and in the longrun i plan to build a 2270 (later down the road) and having a working megasquirt system should help things out quite a bit.

ask your "boss at the shop you sort of work at" to take one of the type 1s off the lift so you can roll the 914 in for the transplant britt.

i'll see what I can do. Sure would make the transplant easier, but then again one has to wonder just how much easier it could be to drop engine, seperate PP and clutch and put them back together and put engine back in?

WTF??? Someone is DONATING an engine to you, and you're going to drop almost a grand in COOLING?

Britt, if you dont have big bucks to spend on a rebuild and you're accepting donations because you're a kid, cool... but if you have the money to spend on a DTM, cam/lifters, megasquirt with tuning, and the other rebuild costs, throw in some money for the engine. Thats just wrong.

"I AM GOING TO BUILD" means something different in california........ I guess.......

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

So in the same paragraph, you said " i plan to build a 2270 (later down the road)". So you're going to build a 1.7 later on down the road with a DTM then in the long future you'll build a 2270? Wont you want a six by then?

nope.

staying four on the 914.

here's the order:


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) 1776 engine from Garold
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) 1776 build I mentioned before
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) 2270 way WAY later down the road.


b

The DTM and such are things I would need anyway and can be simply transferred to teh new engine.

I already have 2 MS systems, so I'm covered there.

Thats what I meant. In 1776 the United States recieved thier Independence, so maybe I was a little confused.

After all, I'm studying in order to get a good job sometime in the near future.
