Re: another 2.0L question...

["S. Coleman" <deadbolt@mindspring.com>]

Don't quote me on this,.. but it seems that the gear on the end of the
intermed. shaft needs to be ground to clear the new parts.   Honestly,..
pushing a 1.8 block is a waste of time IMHO.   I can buy a complete 2.0
motor for $450.00 and nothing needs to be clearance.   After selling off the
parts you don't need,... you have paid for your shop bill and new rings and
bearings.   (or should be close,...)   I believe that is the plan for Mike
A. who I rebuilt and sold a similar package to.   I dunno,...   Maybe if I
couldn't source a 2.0 block,..I might consider this package from
Autotech.,... . but I could probably ship you a 2.0 motor cheaper than that
kit?

Just some thoughts,
Chris
