IIRC, the four cylinder engine in those cars is a 16 valve version of the old 124 engine, with a balance shaft installed where the old intermediate shaft was installed. Very much similar to a 944 engine.
Should not be to difficult to work on, very straight forward. |

Thanks for the links. I already have the manuals.
The car was mixing coolant and oil. The owner suggested head gasket. I pulled the valve cover to find no3 intake cam lobes rusted which told me where the problem is. I pulled the head didn't see any obvious damage to the gasket, the head shop said the head is not cracked. I guess I measure the block straightness next? How common are block failures on these cars? I did notice the head bolts as with most of the nuts and bolts came off easily. I wonder if it wasn't torqued properly?

Try sending head to a machine shop. I'm guessing the head-shop specializes in other things.
Couldn't resist. I have nothing more to offer!

I did a head job on a Fiat 124 Sport Coupe; basically the same engine but unturbocharged.
Beautiful engine to work on, design goes back to the Maserati brothers when at OSCA.

The head is not cracked, but is it flat? Did they check?

Here in Tokyo head shop charge $500 to check. The owner opted to swap motors. I did VW Golfs, Porsche 911 and 944s so I figured I could handle it. Ohh boy was I wrong.
Maybe its my age but holy $"%&^ this car is a pain to work on. First challenge, find the right timing belt. there are 2 types. Second, getting then engine, transmission out.. Soo many bolts. Now I am stuck separating the engine its stuck on the transfer case

A carbed 911 engine looks super simple compared to that!

Holy balls. You could probably ship it to CA., have a machine shop repair it and ship it back for less than that. I can recommend a couple if you need them.

Ummm, does it have a water - oil oil cooler like a 944? Mixing water and oil you say? I bet that's your problem and you pulled the head for no reason...

It looks like those are water lines that run in beside the oil filter, those are for your oil cooler... I bet this is the culprit.
