Wanted 36hp long block cheap or free
Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 12:05 am
I just pulled down the engine in my bug.
Been overheating and leaking oil.
It looks like 2 push rod guide plates went postal and shot chunks out of the piston skirts.
I have all the tin ware gen carb etc, the heads look like they have been replaced recently so they can be used again.
So what I need is a long block or even an engine with a burnt out valve.
Doesn't need to be flash, just better than this one
I need to keep this bug on the road
With a baby less than a week away, I don't have a lot of spare cash.
Any help would be very appreciated.
