tailgatewagon

so i recently bought a NOS 1400 short block and a nos 1600 short block. i tryed the 1400 head gasket on the 1600 and its a no go. for the following reasons head studs on 1400(dual port wet sleeve) are a layed out diffently then on the 1600 also the bore is alot smaller on the 1400 so you would have to use the 1600 gasket(duh) problem is the water jacket on the head would be very close to the cylinder bore on the engine. problems and fixes water jacket miss alingment i believe the water jackets could be ported to work although they would still be very close to the bore and might not last long before blowing head gaskets head studs not the same. i belive the head stud holes in the heads could be elongated to work, you would also need to swap the head studs from the fourteen hundered to the 1600 since they are differnt lengthes things that havent been covered, cam differnces compresion ratio change intake fitment push rod length differnces (if someone can measure the 1600 ones i can do the 1400. anyway will try to add pix when i get a chance

sounds like a fun build i think if i i was looking to build what your going to build i would ej22 it (yes they fit with a little work. with a 4eat trany should work nicely for mild offroading and with the grey wire mod it would be awsome....... you could even distributer and carb the ej22 if you wanted........

hi guys i guess this is probably more of a classified add type thing but im not realy looking to buy as anyone with one would be silly to sell it anyway im removing the wet sleaves from my 1400 and need the puller to do it. the local dealer chucked all there old tools a few years ago and the cheapest one i have found is over 800 bucks anyway i may have to make something if i cant find one. and yes im in the process of a complete rebuild on one of my ea63's :-\ not shure what im thinking.

ive been waiting for your brat to reserface its one of my favorits of all time when you get a chance please share more on it thanks

love how the engine has what looks like dual exhaust ports like an ea63, i know where two borgward wagons are sitting very cool, anyway love your car very cool

i had a door once that was this way took it ot a body shop and they said the door was bent or the body and that there wasnt enough adjustment in the mechansim to take care of it so the guy had a slide hamer that fit the door side and the body side and he would tap it with the slide hamer till the body was adjusted till the door closed. def took some practice but it worked....

not to go off topic but do you think you could get the distributers, and intakes for the carbed ej motores.... i know thee would be a market for such things....

well no they didn't make it but has anyone looked at doing a swap simular to the ea81 swap.... am thinking of building a secound 1400 this way.

realy???? take some pix for us:eek::eek::eek:

i thougth we should start a thread that has to do with major work on the ea62-ea71 engines, so eveyone chime in with your projects please post engine pix(pic make it more fun) and what your doing...

that thing is awsome i dont know what it is worth but if i had 5500 laying around id be tempted no wait id have a check in the mail:)

also the look real close the fuel lines maybe leaking (at the fuel rails) the car is getting 15years old and the rubber lines get hard when cold and soft when they heat up. wrxs are real bad for this or where when they first came out..

well i sold all my parts manuals for 80+ i only have 69-70, 72-75 and 77-80 so i don" t hae v the the early 4wd stuff..... if anyone hhas 76 i would like it........

i would bet its a 4wd grill from 75-76 they are that size and if someone removed the 4wd emblem from it it would look just like that... nice find

so whats the deal , i guess its louder when on country setting then on city, but what i dont remember was the a dealer instal option or what. anyway it was on a 75 4wd wagon at a secret yard im going back to soon so i guess ill grab it if anyone needs it for there resto let me know...
