What kind of engine is this?

Looks like a Subie.

+1 to Tris
Distroless ignition, bulletproof design, extremely smooth, millions of parts, and double the HP with better mileage.
And the thing is, at this point of time when engine rebuilds easily venture into 3-4K dollar, you are better off converting.

Oil pan looks dangerously close to the ground, no?

Come to the dark side .. we have cookies.

...and bondo! Where did all the body lines go?

[tristessa]

The wanker filled in & ground out all the seams. God only knows how much rust he had to deal with -- it's a British rig.

Could stand for a shortened oilpan for sure .. and a stock ride height.

Back to to the engine at hand. Do you need help sir?

If I am going to convert its to a 3.2L aircooled 911 engine never a watercooled engine.

[tristessa]

never a watercooled engine.

Not even if it's blessed by Saint Raby himself?

My thoughts too, but a nice bullet-proof little 2.2 before they got all nasty.

So, what's the plan Mental?

[Kubelwagen]

Went over and helped Joseph pull the engines, then the heads. It was a voyage of discovery for both of us, but we managed slow but steady.

Found a bunch of grime on the outside and what seems like too much carbon on the inside.




But the real problem seems to be this metal that has welded itself here:




What do folks think?

Linky no worky for me.

[Kubelwagen]

Putting the pictures on Photobucket, will post the link here once they are up. Please stand by. We apologize for any incontinence this may have caused. (Cleanup on aisle 3).

looks like a washer from the carb manifold

[Kubelwagen]

It does look like a washer, but the engine is fuel injected. Is there anything "washer like" in the valve assembly that could have come off?
