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 |

Kaiser is ok.
The mistake you made is just asking them to do some heads. You gotta say "Rob. I'll give you 100 bucks under the table to bore me 4 holes." Nightshift at Argus runs till 2am. Me. I'm dealing with my car tomorrow. If I had a better boring head.... Maybe. The TI hubs that I've got on there are waiting on a broaching tool... Otherwise, I'm working at an aerospace shop on dayshift. I can't pull any funny stuff with management around. I wouldn't reccomend Painters. They don't really hire any machinists. The bulk of their employees are grads from DADC. But they've got the machinery to do it. Painter has a flipping crank grinder there! And it's almost painful to watch him play with it. Nice guy though. And their engines aren't half bad. Yeah. It should be a five minute job. 1)Indicate flatness. 2)Find center Hole 1 3)get bore sized 4)Find center hole 2 5)BAM bore. 6)Indicate flatness. Part 2 7)BAM HOLE 80Find center 9)BAM HOLE Easy. If I get my car done tomorrow, I can drop you a line and we'll go to Warren Tech. |
