Hi everyone, I've recently aquired a non-running '84 westy. The car of my dreams! Turns out the camshaft was broken in three places, and two of the lifter housings in the case were sheared off (not to mention all the other damage). So at least that takes off the pressure to rebuild it! I think I'm gonna go with the Tiico engine, after exhaustively studying all the options. So, if anyone needs any parts off the 1.9L engine, they're yours for the shipping. Everything was in pretty good condition except for the camshaft, crankshaft, case, and 2 lifters, but no promises. On head had small cracks between the valves. Shipping is from Bisbee, AZ, 85638 Jeff |
