What do you say to a machinist to make 1.7 heads work on a 2.0?
I'm halfway through a top-end job on my new to me 78 Westfalia. Just about to swap on the rebuilt heads I got off the Samba and they don't fit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Same exact casting number, but no go. I'm guessing when they were rebuilt, they had them set up for a 1.7, combustion chamber is different too. I'm royally screwed, cause I needed this job done tonight. Also, can anyone recommend a shop in the greater Denver area that could do this fast? Thanks Samson |

Take a cylinder with you and have him cut to fit...
OR Measure the cylinder with the right tools (Good caliper) and tell him the specs. If you ARE USING YOUR OLD CYLINDERS!!!! Take the old heads with you and use them for your measuring template. AND Don't worry. The machinist will dictate to you what he needs. Are you using head gaskets on these cylinders? C C |
