Default MKIV engine factory & aftermarket Variants

Facinatin'! Anyone who buys an unknown unrunning engine without a borescope look-see and a "pencil test" (drop a longish pencil eraser end first into the plug hole and slowly move piston through its travel to measure linear displacement) as just asking for difficulties, no? Even if it's cheap.

No doubt, new pistons and install was not at all cheap... Nice torque, though.

Must have been fun to get into the engine bay... rather wide and tall at that.

Did it really fit without completely revising the MKIV foot-boxes back to the MKIII shorties?

But, what a weight! Did he revise to the aly heads? Perhaps they were not yet available in the Cammer? i don' remember.

My wife wants me to cut the grass again, but i tol' her i was off duty today in support of our illegal immigrants. She said if i don' get it done, she is off duty today about both changing Sophia's diapers, feeding her, teaching her and making supper.

Looks like my solidarity just folded...

For Dr. Muck:
Jose can i sea, by the don's Erie nite... (to be sung quietly, sotto voce, at least until he gets his green card.)
