2.1 L Wasserboxer
new cylinders, pistons, gaskets, etc.

idles at 1900 rpm, power when cold, wimpy when warm, dies when hot- I  

see a trend here...
water level sensor blinking constantly

would it make a difference if the wires from temp sensor at thermostat  

were reversed? I had pulled them off the sensor when first removing  
it. I believe this is just a variable resistor, right?

In other news, the shift linkage seems to be off. Very sloppy and  
first gear is way up near reverse. Am I missing a part here/there? Am  

very disgusted.
