That is the question.


Listerines,


I need opinions on whether to rebuild a recently purchased 1.9ltr waterboxer
with 86K on it. My original intent was to just install it in my 84 westy and
drive on, however I got to thinking..... I have rebuilt "normal" VW
air-cooled engines myself, and would be doing the assembly myself, and this
engine sort of reminds me of their air-cooled engine in a lot of respects.
On the air-cooled engines I've done, I usually purchase a cyliner/piston
kit, and rebuilt heads, but do not know if that is available for the
water-boxers, or if it's needed. This engine came out of a wreck. Any advise
would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!


Mike Brenner
