Got the engine, and watched the Type IV rebuild tape from Bug me videos..

That Jake Raby video is awesome... I learned alot.. If you haven't seen it, it is a must.. Just don't try it in one sitting.. Info overload.. But that is the beauty of the tape, you can just rewind and watch again..

For now just learning as much as I can via the web, and books.. This will be my first engine rebuild so I don't want to wreck it before I put it into the car.. The engine I have is a 1.8 (914) engine with FI.... Probably keep it the same but carbs.. At first I thought Joe Cali, but now thinking DTM..
Any thoughts..

Rebuilding an engine is no small task.. definitely not cheap.. but I want to learn as much as I can on these engines.. if I damage, I can always save for a couple of years and order a Raby Special..

Again I salute you Jake on a fine product.. (from one marine to another )
