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 |

Thanks Alpha, I gave Argus a call, but he said they're not a motor machine shop. I can't believe someone was accually there at 11pm. Where are you during the day, if you're at another shop I'd love to bring them there to have you do them. If not it's cool. I'll call some of these guys in the YPs and Painter's grinding.
This is a job that any competent Machine shop should be able to knock out in no time right? Drop'm off at 9, pick'm up at 2. Or is that unrealistic? |
