Cars coming around for a follow-up rebuild may surprise some people. For a while i'm told the "hot setup" was to install all Dilivars upon improving them. I found just that in my '79 engine during my current rebuild- all Dilivar, none broken. However the engine was weepy in a LOT of places and seems like the head clamping & sealing was poor.
So I have 24 Dilivars (the painted standard type, not the super duper 993 all-thread) that are now going in the scrap metal pile. No way i'm reinstalling those buggers. Plain steel will suit me just fine for my fairly tame 3.2L short stroke race engine.
