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 |

Yeah. I have a mill. Just no basement.
I'm terribly terribly sorry. But the mill has a couple of titanium hubs setup on it, and I can't lose the position. Next time, I swear! Actually.... I do have a lot of friends... There is a shop here that I used to work for. There is a guy. Rob. The place is called Argus Systems. Now you have to be a little sneaky. The address is 3821 N. Blake, next to the baseball field. If you call down there. Or drive by, if you don't get an answer. Offer Rob 100+ bucks and he will very likely do it for you. You can get it done tonight, if you can get ahold of him. |
