Well it looks like it's time for another rebuild on my engine and the current plan is to do a 2056 D-jet build based around the Raby 9590 cam kit from The Type IV Store. I wanted to get some prices for machine work to bring the heads up to snuff as they have well over 200K miles worth of heat cycles on them. So far it seems the costs range from $450 for a basic rebuild of the pair from Rimco to $2700 from The Type IV Store for their tasty 914 2.0 replacement RS+ heads. Needless to say that's quite a range and this is my first engine build so I'm unsure how to proceed.
Although I can stretch the budget for the RS heads, it just means the build will take much longer as that accounts for the lion's share of my original budget. So my question to the forum is, what would you do in my position and why? Thanks, John |

I see that you are in the Mid-Atlantic area. If it were my engine I would contact these guys about rebuilding your head. FYI they are much better in person than over the phone.
Dicks Autohaus 210 Centreville Rd, Queenstown, MD (410) 827-6501 While you are at it I would also look into having the rotating assembly balanced by these guys. They can also cut your flywheel if needed. Burtonsville Performance Machine Service 5210 Minnick Rd, Laurel, MD (301) 490-3131 Good luck with your project. |
