Subject:      1984 1.9 Vanagon Engine FOR SALE!Rebuildable 2.1 wanted+?'s?'s?'s
Content-Type: text/plain

As of today the engine is still installed in my van and you can hear it
run over the phone as I have taped it while in operation.It has 203K and
runs strong with heads that don't leak any water.If anyone is interested
I will pull the engine myself and put it on a pallet for you,however you
pay the shipping which shouldn,t be that much since I can ship anywhere
in the continental US for less than $100.The engine does mark its spot
when stopped but nothing alarming.The lifters are a little loud after
startup but quiet down and it hums down the highway.Selling as is no
warranty.Asking $890.00$obo contact:

      Are genuine German piston and cylinder sets available for the
2.1,if so how would
one go about determining their authenticity inorder to justify paying the
markup?
      What is the largest overbore if any that can be succesfully
executed on a 2.1 cylinder without causing failure or adverse
performance.I have heard tales of oversized pistons for sale possibly in
Japan does anyone know anything pertaining to this question?
      Has anyone ever tried to hook up a turbo to the 2.1 or know of
anyone who has tried and if not then whynot?
       Regarding the 090-NK 5spd transmission,does anyone here know how
they fare as compared to the 4spd in regards to longetivity and time
until rebuild.How tough are they?Does anyone know of one for sale
anywhere?Where would you find parts?
        Iam looking for a rebuildable 2.1 or a rebuilt 2.1 using German
parts wherever possible,also need to know what is involved in installing
the 2.1 in a pre 2.1 '84 vanagon as far as rerouting waterlines and fuel
injection differences Digijet vs. Digifant(are they interchangeable,is
one better or worse than the other?)
          Last question(:for today:),according to the Bentley manual the
87 vanagon model has 95hp and all other years(2.1) have 90hp ,why is
that?Anyone know?
                               Thanks,Kyle
