Hey All,
Due to the worn clutch I Finally bit the bullet and pulled the engine on my 86 4X4 GL Wagon. I am cutting my teeth on this bullet as this is my first EA-82 rebuild. Now that I have it down to the short block I guess I should ask some questions.
Block: 200,000 on the block. Time to rebuild or just reseal? Compression is good and I can still see the crosshatch on the cylinder walls, but since I have it out and the heads off.... -->How many more miles should she have in her?
Heads: Send em out or do em myself? This will be a daily driver and will be "weberized" for better gas milage and more power. Should I just replace the wear parts or does the weber and "modified" (catless) exhaust call for headwork. I have up to 100$ budgeted for the heads.
I will be doing all the normal rebuild stuff: Clutch kit, H2O pump, thermostat, oil pump, T-belts and tensioners and of course the weber.
Thanks,
Dusty
