opens from inside but not outside plus need a good type 4 engine or a good local eng mech

It may just be that the slider on the outer latch is broken. Cheap part.

I have a 1.7L 914 rebuilt engine on my engine stand that I want to sell. I want to sell it without cooling tin and front cooling shroud. The reason is that I use the rough condition tin and shroud on the test (run up) stand on all the engines I build. It comes with a flywheel ( proper end clearance ) and a stock cam so it can be used with FI. It is running on my stand now with a 32/36 carb and a distributor . I'm looking for $1000 as a long block . This would be a great engine to use while you are building your big motor . Al Click to view attachment Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment

Thanks for the response but I need somethink closer to so cal.
