Humble only works to a certain point, then you get real damn tired of being chewed out for asking if a seller has papers to verify a rebuilt carb and engine.

Whatever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


Sure made yourself look innocent. I can dig up quotes from the recycle bin if you want.
  1. You didn't get chewed out.
  2. You didn't *just* ask if the seller had papers.
  3. You made a statement of fact in a classified ad stating that the seller's motor was a core when in fact it was installed in a running, driving 914 that the seller offered up for testing.
Someone who might not know better may have decided based on your comment not to approach a buyer thereby undermining the seller's ability to sell what could very well be a good 2.0 motor.

Great link to tunacan thanks.

I hope no one is actually upset by what went on here. They are my heads and I had a blast reading it all. I am far from an expert and am here for the same reason that I think many others are. To learn and have fun. I read mucho posts (more than is advised by my doctor) and any other info I can get my hands on. Like others I try to put it all together for what will work for me on my budget. Mike Mueller started a poll not long ago asking how people felt about doing an engine rebuild. Some interesting replies came from it. I never replied, but will now. It is universal. If you are thinking about doing anything. Do some research get your info together and before you end up looking back saying I could have, I should have or I would have. Just do it! If it was easy and there was only one answer it would be dull. So it's not the best rebuild ever. It's my first and wont be my last. Who knows I may even learn something.

This virtual world we have here rocks and the cars are pretty damn cool.

Oh, and I love buses. Mine got me, my dog and my 914 from coast to coast without issue. Another thing some folks thought wouldn't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Hey, maybe I will build an engine for my bus next. I wonder how I should go about it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Game for what? Your 1.7? Certainly not for $1500. It's not worth that but a good running 2.0 might very well be. I can quote your deleted posts. Are you sure you want to go down this road? I really don't, but...

Do whatever you feel like you need to do.

I dont honestly care what you do, I just wanted some papers. I got a "rebuilt" engine with my 914 when I bought it, and the valve seats were trashed, etc. One was totally missing. New cylinders/pistons though. And yes Mark, they're going out this week.

I woudl think a rebuilt carb at least would have papers.

We'll play it your way for now. I will say this. Asking the guy for papers was fine. Calling his motor a core was not. Don't undermine someone's ability to sell their parts in the classifieds.

I'm done. I have better things to do.

Man I was feeling all warm and fuzzy after my post. Thinking about kittens.

I am just curious what point you guys are trying to bring this debate. If no one here really knows. Then what is the point of debating in this thread? I'm not saying don't. Just what is the score?

Yeah I didnt understand the debate in this thread either, but I apologize for the hijack.

I suppose it was a seamless transition from me calling your heads bus heads, to calling some dude's unknown history engine a core engine.

Thanks Rick. You may not have caught him in the video, so here is a picture of my Ace Mechanic prepping the engine for the floor test. He even brought his own tools!
