hi i have a 83 vanagon- just bought it. i have the old 1.6 out- the previous owner removed it because of head leaks. then he took the heads to a machine shop- they told him they were junk- so he threw them away!! i have the 1.9 short block, cases split but not apart- he coudnt get the pistons off. so the question of the day is " i know 1.9 cores are about 600 usd. does anybody need this for a core???" im converting to a different drivetrain (sorry purists!) so i dont need it. |
