Hi all, Cleaning up the '87 wassers engine area I pulled the air/FI system off for new lines/seals and a coat of paint. Also scoured off the block/heads for a leak check, bone dry! :). Imagine my surprise when sandblasting off the bran flakes of rust from the runners to discover several pinholes right through near the bolt down ends!! So who's got a set of pristine NOS ones they want to sell me for a pittance? C'mon, please! Anyone near a blown engine that's being parted out? Don't know if a 1.9L set are the same, likely so. Either that or I keep sandblasting and then fill with braze, which is fine. And what's the lowest recorded price for the injector seals? Dealer sucks big on this one! Four rubber Cheerios for $60Cdn, jeesh. bye, Tim
