| Yea make sure you get a carburetor unisyn gauge the biggest help in the world and very easy for you to lear once you do it a couple of times its a snap afetr that. I tune the carbs on my bug all the time bout every 2 months if you race it hard duel webers. But that looks sweet good to know someone is keeping carb. |

| Boom....blue smoke everywhere.... Hell, I took the engine from a junked car...I'm still surprized it made it to BeaveRun........and back. it's just pissing oil everywhere...litterally. I have the red top to throw in...but no pistons.... the redtop needs to be bored...due to corrosion on the cylinder walls...to many deap pits, so .040 over will take care of that...but the pistons will also need to be oversized...and then rings, and the bore job, honeing...and basically everything to rebuild it....right now...the money is so tight that if someone has an extra normal 4age laying around...I might buy it for $100 or so and drop it in to continue my destructive habits. Then again...it might just be a simple head gasket....

| ![]() a little more here... From what I see, the head gasket was slightly blown, the valve seals are shot, the block has some super fine cracks on one of the cylinders, and the one carb that wasn't flowing right was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to lean......and that was what caused the headers to be glowing red, so the head might be salvageable, but the block is shot, well...fawk it...this engine is shot........time for another test engine....I found one in NY for $100, anyone want to go on a road trip???....I hate Queens..... I guess I won't get to the autocross this week-end, and possibly might have to forget about drift for a few weeks.....
