well, the $200 wonder bus finally seized, surely due in no small part to a vacuum leak fix without adequate carburetor compensation. so here i sit with a 2.0l to replace the 1.8l but i keep going back and forth about how much i really want to put into this engine.
the 2.0 was, i'm pretty sure, a good runner that came out of a '78 with trans problems. i basically want to just give it to trafton here in portland and get him to slap a centermount progressive on it and get it running, then put it in the bus and drive it till it won't drives no more. however, in my more ambitious days, i took one of the heads off to see if it was any good and to possibly do the rings. now the head site here, and i without my ring tool wonder how realistic would it be for me to remove the other head and do the rings? should i just cut my losses, hand it all to trafton and not worry about the rings?
trying to decide about new rings/guides on type IV
