The engine is not fine...
The following pictures are not for the faint of heart. If you have a weak stomach, you shouldn't look at these photos. If you have a tender spot in your soul for Type 4's, then walk away from this thread now.

Well, that might explain that "odd noise" you've been hearing...
 Is the conclusion a lean mixture, or a simple combustion leak? --DD

Combustion leak. Not very happy at the moment. Pulling the head tomorrow. How can a man do this sober, I guess I'll find out.

I got tired of seeing things like that and finally went with a six! Just remember, anything can be repaired! Good luck.

Shove The motor I built back in to the car. That is a sweet running single port that I would drive to New York and Back.

As for the engine, it will get pulled tomorrow, and the head will either be fixed, or replaced. No big deals right?!
At least I got a b!tch!n' trophy spark plug to remind me of my ride to work today!!!

Compression leak around the plug, or through the plug actually, as you can see. No biggie, my Pelican friends and I have it under control.

That sucks Jason. The only problem I had with my 1911 (while in my 70 bug), was that I sheard the flywheel bolts. I may have revved it too hard (6500-7000 rpms) a few too many times. Now that motor will find it's way into the 72 914. The bug has a 1914 Turbo in it. The carbon seal went out in it, so the turbo is being repaired right now. I know the feeling of having to swap, or remove conversion motors, but it's still fun to work on em'.
BTW, what are the specs on your new tranny? Peace, Eddie.
