Thanks I had worked out its most likely a 1978/79 Vanagon , but hadn't seen the bit about the lifters.
I have the history for Ted and there's no mention of a case change. I'd say it was a strange thing to do, if you had a 2.0 case, surely you'd rebuild it as a 2.0? Or at least bigger than stock?
American import isn't it? It's clearly had some case work/cleaning done, as the galleries have been drilled and tapped.... But a case is a case, it's the crank and pistons that makes the litreage... one could assume that it's a 2l.. but you won't know until you pull it down
It shows a top end rebuild at 180,000, they must have included the cases!!!! Or have been fibbing to the PO. If it is a 2.0l it would explain why it felt as fast as Peasoup's, whatever it is, it was definitely old, leaky and wheezy. (much like the owner)
that's teasing. What is the specification on that? Also, what is all that red Marmitee all over the front of the fanhousing? I hope you've knocked money off for the advertisment
Dang that was a long day... Skipped my tea and got the motor in just as it was going dark!! Quick shot before it went in...
2056cc, H beam rods, eurorace II grind cam, and 44 x 38 valves in modified 1700 heads, with a conservative 9.2:1 compression ratio Builders prerogative Only vinyl stickers, so easily removed if TBR doesn't like them Yep, T25 case... gets rid of the leaky breather cap
I guess I should get Ted dyno'd when we get home. Any recommendations for someone within a reasonable distance? And after how long should it be done?
